Higher-level linguistic categories dominate lower-level acoustics in lexical tone processing.
Native tonal-language speakers exhibit reduced sensitivity to lexical tone differences within, compared to across, categories (higher-level linguistic category influence). Yet, sensitivity is enhanced among musically trained, non-tonal-language-speaking individuals (lower-level acoustics processing influence). The current study investigated the relative contribution of higher- and lower-level i...
متن کاملSignal Lexicon Higher - Level Linguistic
In 1989, our group first reported on the development of SUMMIT, a segment-based speaker-independent continuous-speech recognition system [13] . The initial version of SUMMIT made use of fairly simple context-independent models for the lexical labels. Recently, we have begun to incorporate more complex models of lexical labels that take into account a variety of contextual factors. These changes...
متن کاملLexical tone in Cantonese spoken-word processing.
In three experiments, the processing of lexical tone in Cantonese was examined. Cantonese listeners more often accepted a nonword as a word when the only difference between the nonword and the word was in tone, especially when the F0 onset difference between correct and erroneous tone was small. Same-different judgments by these listeners were also slower and less accurate when the only differe...
متن کاملThe role of linguistic experience in the hemispheric processing of lexical tone
This study investigated hemispheric lateralization of Mandarin tone. Four groups of listeners were examined: native Mandarin listeners, English–Mandarin bilinguals, Norwegian listeners with experience with Norwegian tone, and American listeners with no tone experience. Tone pairs were dichotically presented and listeners identified which tone they heard in each ear. For the Mandarin listeners, ...
متن کاملOntoTag's Linguistic Ontologies: Enhancing Higher Level and Semantic Web Annotations
Following the road in-between purely linguistic annotation and solely ontology-based annotations for the Semantic Web, a hybrid (ontological and linguistic) model and platform, called OntoTag, has been created, aiming at better machine communication, interoperability and language understanding. These capabilities, which are the main topic of this paper, are derived from the incorporation into t...
