Perception of spectral slopes and tone identification in White Hmong∗
This study investigates the importance of source spectrum slopes in the perception of phonation by White Hmong listeners. In White Hmong, non-modal phonation (breathy or creaky voice) accompanies certain lexical tones, but its importance in tonal contrasts is unclear. In this study, native listeners participated in two perception tasks, in which they were asked to identify the word they heard. ...
متن کاملAn acoustic and electroglottographic study of White Hmong tone and phonation
This study examines tone and phonation in White Hmong, a language with seven tones (traditionally described as: high, mid, low, high-falling, mid-rising, low-falling, and mid-low) and three phonations (low-falling tone is creaky, mid-low tone is breathy and the remaining tones are modal). Thirty-two speakers were recorded producing words with all seven tones; audio and electroglottographic reco...

متن کاملVisual cues in Mandarin tone perception
This paper presents results concerning the exploitation of visual cues in the perception of Mandarin tones. The lower part of a female speaker's face was recorded on digital video as she uttered 25 sets of syllabic tokens covering the four different tones of Mandarin. Then in a perception study the audio sound track alone, as well an audio plus video condition were presented to native Mandarin ...
متن کاملThe timing and sequencing of coarticulated non-modal phonation in English and White Hmong
Despite the growing number of studies on the acoustics of non-modal phonation, little is known about how two distinct non-modal phonations can interact acoustically when coarticulated. This study investigates the acoustics of breathy-to-creaky phonation contours in vowels from a production study of native speakers of English and White Hmong. These languages differ in the nature of the non-modal...
