A Study on the Pitch Range in the Context of Downstep in Chinese
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the realization of pitch range of tones in the context of downstep in Chinese is analyzed. The test sentences are composed of „High + Low + High + Low‟ sequences, and it is found that, compared to utterance with 2 HL sequences, the overall pitch ranges of longer utterances are great. The pitch range of the last HL sequence is the greatest, and that of the first HL sequence is the second greatest, with that near the middle of the utterance to be the least great. The pitch range of the utterance initial HL sequence of shorter utterance tends to be greater than that of longer ones, and those of the final HL sequences of long and short utterances approach a constant value.

متن کاملPitch range control of Japanese boundary pitch movements
Boundary pitch movements (BPMs) are tones that occur at the end of prosodic phrases in Japanese and contribute to the pragmatic interpretation of certain utterance such as questioning, continuation, and emphasis. This paper investigates pitch range control of BPMs, which has received little attention in previous studies. Specifically, it examines whether downstep is observed in BPMs by analyzin...

On August 7, 2003 the Cluster spacecraft moved through the dayside magnetosphere. The energetic particle spectrometer on board Cluster provided measurements of an extensive range of energy. Besides, satellite measurements of geomagnetic field showed a gradient magnetic field. It is known that an inhomogeneity of the magnetic field leads to a drift of charged particles. In this paper, the drift ...
