Production and Perception of Double Contour Tones in Qiyang Chinese
This paper is to study Qiyang double contours from acoustic and perceptual perspective. A noteworthy sandhi pattern and the perception experiment results indicate that Qiyang qushengs (departing tones) are underlying double contours, i.e. 4232(yinqu) and 2142(yangqu), because their falling tails are phonologically active and lexically encoded. This seriously challenges the current tone geometri...
متن کاملCues to the perception of Taiwanese tones.
A labeling test with synthetic speech stimuli was carried out to determine to what extent the two dimensions of fundamental frequency (F0), height and movement, and syllable duration provide cues to tonal distinctions in Taiwanese. The data show that the high level vs. mid level tones and the high falling vs. mid falling tones can be reliably distinguished by F0 height alone, whereas the distin...
متن کاملThe perception of natural contour.
The observation that natural curves and surfaces are often fractal suggests that people may be sensitive to their statistical properties. The perceptual protocols that underlie discrimination between fractals and between other types of random contour and fractals are examined. Discrimination algorithms that have precisely the same sensitivities as human observers are constructed. These algorith...
متن کاملThe perception of boundary tones in infancy
We investigated English-learning 4-month-olds’ ability to discriminate a final rise versus fall in pitch that distinguishes questions from statements in Portuguese and English. Using visual habituation, we showed that English-learning 4-month-olds failed to categorize segmentally varied Portuguese statements vs. questions. They only succeeded when tested with restricted segmental variability in...
