This paper investigates a diachronic change that has taken place in the production and perception of the “rising” tone in Bangkok Thai, comparing data collected in the 1960’s and 1970’s with data collected 2004 to 2006. Regarding production, several studies have found that the abrupt pitch rise that had characterized the rising tone in earlier studies is now curtailed, such that the pitch of th...

This study investigated Japanese speakers’ second language (L2) phonological adaptation processes by examining the production of L2 with particular reference to speech rhythm and timing. In addition it examined the effectiveness of proposed L2 phonological adaptation rules in different prosodic units, namely word and phrase. Languages use different prosodic units to maintain their speech rhythm...

In an ad hoc environment with no wired communication infrastructure, mobile hosts necessarily operate as routers, in order to provide network connectivity. Since mobile ad hoc networks change their topology frequently and without prior notice, routing in such networks becomes a challenging task. To explicitly consider node movements, we present MORA, a movement-based routing algorithm for mobil...

This paper reports the results of a phonetic experiment carried out to explore the potential importance of visual information for the perception of Japanese prosody and its relationship with phonological structure. It specifically examines whether and to what extent native speakers of Japanese are able to accurately perceive the temporal structure of their native language on the sole basis of v...

Listeners rely on nativelanguage rhythm in segmenting speech; in different languages, stress-, syllableor mora-based rhythm is exploited. This language-specificity affects listening to non-native speech, if native procedures are applied even though inefficient for the non-native language. However, speakers of two languages with similar rhythmic interpretation should segment their own and the ot...

This study is an attempt to understand the phonetic properties of pitch accent conditions in Japanese as related to the two observed versions of H tones. We tested the hypothesis that the higher version (accented H) results from pre-low raising (PLR) rather than being inherently higher. Correlation analysis reveals an inverse relation between accent peak and the following low tone, and that the...

This study provides evidence against the hypothesis that Japanese has word level mora-timing. Unlike previous studies which used careful speech, this paper evaluates timing in a corpus of spontaneous Japanese speech from 11 speakers. Correlations between word duration and number of moras in the word are shown to be much lower than in careful speech studies. Furthermore, if there were durational...

Decision making is still one of the most critical and central activities performed in organizations (Simon, 1960; 1997; Ackoff, 1962). Any effort that improves the effectiveness and efficiency of the process is likely to have positive impacts on organizational intelligence and performance (Huber, 1990; Mora & Cervantes, 1999). Computer Based Information Systems (CBIS) have been used to support ...
