Prosodic systems: Mainland Southeast Asia
Mainland Southeast Asia is often viewed as a linguistic area where five different language phyla – Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Hmong-Mien, Sino-Tibetan and Kra-Dai – have converged typologically. This chapter illustrates areal features found in their prosodic systems, but also emphasizes their oft-understated diversity. The first part of the chapter describes word level prosodic properties.

متن کاملVoice quality differences and the origin of diphthongs
Introduction. The literature documents a widely-noted correlation between three clusters of features widely-distributed in Southeast Asian languages: a so-called tense register (associated with several distinct voice quality or phonation types (specifically, with creaky, tense, and sometimes harsh voice)), a modal register, which is unmarked, and a breathy-voiced register (associated with breat...
متن کاملThe acoustic consequences of phonation and tone interactions in Jalapa Mazatec
San Felipe Jalapa de D ⁄ ıaz (Jalapa) Mazatec is unusual in possessing a three-way phonation contrast and three-way level tone contrast independent of phonation. This study investigates the acoustics of how phonation and tone interact in this language, and how such interactions are maintained across variables like speaker sex, vowel timecourse, and presence of aspiration in the onset. Using a l...
متن کاملThe Role of Creaky Voice in Cantonese Tonal Perception
There are few studies on the role of phonation cues in the perception of lexical tones in tonal languages where pitch is the primary dimension of contrast. This study shows that listeners are sensitive to creaky phonation in native tonal perception in Cantonese, a language in which the low falling tone, Tone 4, has anecdotally been reported to be sometimes creaky. First, in a multi-speaker corp...
متن کاملPhonation Contrast in Two Register Contrast Languages and Its Influence on Vowel Quality and Tone
This study aims to provide a better understanding of the phonetic realization of phonation contrast in register contrast languages and its interaction with vowels and tones by comparing the production of two Yi languages: Southern Yi and Bo. Results show that 1) Electroglottographic contact quotient is the essential mechanism of the phonation contrast in both languages; 2) Phonation mainly infl...
