Abstract

Lexical tone is an important phonological property in tonal languages, but its encoding process in speech production remains unclear. We conducted two electroencephalographic (EEG) experiments to investigate the time course of tonal encoding relative to that of syllabic encoding in Mandarin Chinese disyllabic and monosyllabic word production respectively. We employed a phonologically primed picture naming task and orthogonally manipulated the tonal and syllabic overlap between the prime and the target word. In both experiments, the ERP data revealed that the main effect of tonal relatedness began to emerge alone in an early time window before that of syllabic relatedness, indicating an early independent retrieval process for lexical tone. Moreover, we observed a significant interaction between tonal and syllabic relatedness in later ERP time window(s) and onset latencies, indicating a later tone-to-syllable integration process. These results support the two-stage model of tonal encoding in Mandarin word production and offer implications for current speech production models.
先设定 "音调",然后将其整合到音节中:普通话造词中词调和音节编码时间过程的脑电图研究
在声调语言中,词调是一个重要的语音属性,但其在语音生产中的编码过程仍不清楚。我们进行了两项脑电图(EEG)实验,分别研究汉语普通话双音节词和单音节词产生过程中声调编码相对于音节编码的时间过程。我们采用了语音引物图片命名任务,并正交地操纵了引物和目标词之间的音调和音节重叠。在这两项实验中,ERP 数据显示,音调相关性的主效应在音节相关性之前的早期时间窗口中开始单独出现,这表明词汇音调有一个早期的独立检索过程。此外,我们还观察到,在后期的 ERP 时间窗和起始潜伏期中,音调相关性和音节相关性之间存在显著的交互作用,这表明后期的音调到音节的整合过程。这些结果支持普通话词汇生成中音调编码的两阶段模型,并为当前的语音生成模型提供了启示。

期刊介绍: Articles in the Journal of Memory and Language contribute to the formulation of scientific issues and theories in the areas of memory, language comprehension and production, and cognitive processes. Special emphasis is given to research articles that provide new theoretical insights based on a carefully laid empirical foundation. The journal generally favors articles that provide multiple experiments. In addition, significant theoretical papers without new experimental findings may be published. The Journal of Memory and Language is a valuable tool for cognitive scientists, including psychologists, linguists, and others interested in memory and learning, language, reading, and speech. Research Areas include: • Topics that illuminate aspects of memory or language processing • Linguistics • Neuropsychology.
