Contour Tone Licensing and Contour Tone Representation
In this paper, I argue that the positional restrictions of contour tones do not result from their bimoraicity requirement for licensing. The arguments come from the licensing advantage of syllables in positions that are not moraically privileged, the extra levels of markedness distinction in contour tones that go beyond the maximum mora count allowed in the theory, the differences among contour...
متن کاملPreattentive Processing of Numerical Visual Information
Humans can perceive and estimate approximate numerical information, even when accurate counting is impossible e.g., due to short presentation time. If the number of objects to be estimated is small, typically around 1-4 items, observers are able to give very fast and precise judgments with high confidence-an effect that is called subitizing. Due to its speed and effortless nature subitizing has...
متن کاملContour Tone Distribution in Luganda
The traditional model of contour tone distribution (see, e.g., Hyman 2003) uses phonological units to describe which syllable types can bear rising or falling tones (see Zhang 2004 for an overview). A common pattern is one in which contour tones are permitted on long vowels but not on short vowels; this is explained in the traditional model by assuming that the mora is the tone-bearing unit (TB...
متن کاملPreattentive processing of audio-visual emotional signals.
Previous research has shown that redundant information in faces and voices leads to faster emotional categorization compared to incongruent emotional information even when attending to only one modality. The aim of the present study was to test whether these crossmodal effects are predominantly due to a response conflict rather than interference at earlier, e.g. perceptual processing stages. In...
متن کاملPreattentive Auditory Processing of Pitch Glide
Pitch glide is a continuously rising or falling characteristic of pitch contour in tonal languages, such as Mandarin Chinese, and is critical for tonal speech comprehension. An interesting but unanswered question is whether pitch glide can be automatically processed at a preattentive stage in the brain. To address this question, we used iterated rippled noise (IRN) as a linguistically meaningle...
