Disambiguation of Tonally Unspecified Mandarin Syllables
The interpretation of written Mandarin monosyllables presented in tonally unspecified pinyin was investigated for 22 native speakers. Results showed a preference for high relative lexical frequency and, to a lesser extent low homophone density candidates, with some interaction between these two factors: where one candidate in a homophone cohort had a particularly high frequency, cohort density ...
متن کاملFeatures of contracted syllables of spontaneous Mandarin
Mandarin is a syllable-timed language whose syllable structure is quite simple [1]. In spontaneous Mandarin, because of rapid speech rate the structure of syllable may be changed, phonemes may be reduced and syllable boundaries as well as lexical tones may be merged. This fact has long been noticed, but no quantified empirical data were actually presented in the literature until now. This paper...
متن کاملTemporal and Tonal Aspects of Chinese Syllables: a Corpus-based Comparative Study of Mandarin and Cantonese
Previous studies on temporal and tonal aspects of languages are usually based on limited data from a small number of subjects. It is difficult to know whether these findings can really represent the general temporal and tonal aspects of continuous speech, or just the speech of the specific subjects involved. Because of this difficulty it may not be appropriate to directly apply these findings t...
متن کاملStudy on factors influencing durations of syllables in Mandarin
This paper studies factors that have influences on durations of syllables in Mandarin. Six factors are investigated by comparing means of duration in different categories in the preparatory study. The vector space is reduced from 299250 to 1000 by removing factors that do not cause significant changes in means and merging levels in each factor that have similar means. In order to remove influen...
متن کاملDuration and the temporal structure of Mandarin discourse
Duration is a primary factor in the structural and cognitive organization of discourse. In this study, we investigate pauses and durational patterns in Mandarin Chinese spontaneous conversation, as well as investigate how reliably such elements can serve as boundary-marking predictors across different types of speech corpora, and how language activities are affected by their cognitive correlate...
