The Influence of Linguistic Background on Asymmetric Tone Perception Induced by Position of Context
Previous studies on categorical perception of lexical tones showed that perception of Cantonese lexical level tones depends on pitch level of contexts and the contextual effect is specific to speech. Moreover, a pair of stimuli with a right context is easier to discriminate than that with a left context. Although this directional asymmetric perception was observed from both native and nonnative...
متن کاملTone production, tone perception and Kammu tonogenesis
The Northern and Western dialects of the Mon-Khmer language Kammu use fundamental frequency to distinguish words, while the Eastern dialect relies on the contrastive voicing of initial consonants to distinguish words which display an F0 contrast in the other dialects. The production and perception of tones in the three dialects is investigated, using recordings and perception tests. As expected...
متن کاملA Cross-linguistic Study of Taiwanese Tone Perception by Taiwanese and English Listeners
The present study investigated tone perception by speakers of Taiwanese Southern Min and those of American English with an AX discrimination task. Two Taiwanese Southern Min tone continua were constructed from natural speech stimuli. One continuum ranged from a high level tone (T55) to a mid level tone (T33), and the other from a high level (T55) to a high falling tone (T51). The results showed...
متن کاملA cross-linguistic PET study of tone perception in Mandarin Chinese and English speakers.
PET was used in a cross-linguistic study to determine whether neural mechanisms subserving pitch perception differ as a function of linguistic relevance. We compared tone perception in 12 native Mandarin speakers, who use tonal patterns to distinguish lexical meaning, with that of 12 native speakers of a nontone language, English. Subjects were scanned under two conditions: a silent resting bas...
متن کاملPerception of Tone and Vo
The current study examines the interaction of syllable tones and vowel quantity in the production and perception of monosyllabic words of Thai. A speech corpus containing groups of words differing only as to tone type and vowel quantity was designed. These were embedded in a short carrier sentence of five mid tone syllables, with the target word being the center syllable. The utterances were an...
