This study, one of the first longitudinal studies of tone, investigates the tonal contours of King Rama IX of Thailand across a 38-year period (1959-1997). During the 20 th century, Thai Tone 3 (“Falling”) changed from mid-falling to high-falling. The study examines whether King Rama IX’s T3 pronunciation changed during the period of investigation, and if so, whether the change was in the same direction as the community trend. The data consist of 16 recordings of the King’s commencement speeches at Chulalongkorn University. F0 was extracted from 1317 T3 tokens and fitted to a cubic polynomial function. Linear mixed model results and post-hoc analysis of estimated marginal means indicate a period of change followed by stability: T3’s F0 onset raised and the slope became steeper between the 1960’s and the 1980’s (in line with community trends), but not between the 1980’s and 1990’s. These findings align with previous research showing that adults have the potential to change in the post-adolescent period, but they also may resist change when that aligns with their identity.","PeriodicalId":145363,"journal":{"name":"1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI)","volume":"47 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133754119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We provide experimental support for this account through two intonation perception experiments on American English comparing the speech act inferences listeners draw based on rising (L*H-H%) and falling (H*L-L%) imperatives with those drawn based on rising and falling declaratives [5]. Native speakers of American English heard steep rising, shallow rising, and falling intonation on imperative sentences and performed a 2AFC task asking them to categorize each utterance as a Suggestion or a Command. Our results indicate that rising and falling tunes result in the same types of speech act meaning inferences when paired with imperatives (Commands vs. Suggestions) as they do with declaratives (Assertions vs. Questions) [5]. Additionally, we show that within-category variation for a single tune in terms of the pitch span (e.g. shallow rising vs. steep rising tunes) affects the likelihood of a given speech act response in the same manner for imperatives as for declaratives, although this pattern is limited to the non-default tune + type pairing.","PeriodicalId":145363,"journal":{"name":"1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122033255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While lesbian women have their own unique linguistic behaviors (e.g. [1]), speakers, regardless of sexual orientation, often accommodate to their interlocutor to signify a common social identity ([2], [3]). Research suggests that pitch level and span may be a source of phonetic variation between straight and lesbian women ([1], [4]). Furthermore, recent research shows that queer speakers can modulate stereotypically queer acoustic variants based on their interlocutor ([5]), in line with [6], who proposed that differences in speech between queer and straight speakers would only be found where community solidarity is desired. This research endeavors to answer the following questions: between every 10ms using a Praat script with a maximum pitch setting of 500Hz. Tokens that fell within the upper or lower 5% were removed to eliminate extreme values. Calculations of average pitch level in Hertz and span in semitones, as well as statistical analysis, were conducted in R. A multiple linear regression analysis suggests significant results are present for pitch level and span with straight male interlocutors across discourse Esposito both lowers her average pitch level and speaks with a narrower pitch span when in conversation with the straight male podcasters used in this study. There is no significant difference between queer interlocutors in pitch level or span. These results are discussed in the context of communication accommodation ([8]) and linguistic markers of sexual orientation (e.g. [9]).","PeriodicalId":145363,"journal":{"name":"1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121761764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate the distinctive status of nuclear tunes, testing imitative production of sentences paired with one of 8 nuclear tunes, and testing pairwise perceptual discrimination of the same tunes. Results from group- and individual-level clustering analyses of F0 trajectories of imitated tunes reveal maximally 5 distinct tunes, with the most robust distinctions between two tune classes: rising and non-rising. Converging results are obtained from perceptual discrimination. A further finding is that the phonetic distance between tunes is a good predictor of discrimination accuracy, but accuracy is better than predicted for pairwise discrimination across the rising/non-rising classes, and worse than predicted for tunes grouped together in the rising class. These results suggest a robustness hierarchy of tune distinctions with a primary rising/non-rising distinction. This hierarchy reflects holistic shape distinctions, but does not align with the proposed tripartite composition of tunes.","PeriodicalId":145363,"journal":{"name":"1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129225583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On one hand, Mandarin Chinese has tone contrast while Japanese has pitch accents. However, the experimental data suggest that in terms of articulatory prosody, they are similar. The term ‘articulatory prosody” as discussed here is used to describe prosodically-motivated jaw displacement patterns. Both Mandarin Chinese and Japanese have final and initial phrasal stress, implemented by increased jaw displacement, and the jaw displacement patterns seem to be independent of the F0 contours of the tones/pitch accents. Acoustically, both Mandarin Chinese and Japanese show F1 increases with increased jaw displacement; Mandarin Chinese also shows increased duration. The results suggest that for both Mandarin Chinese and Japanese, it is the pattern of jaw displacement that provides the underlying prosodic framework of phrase-initial and phrase-final stress, resulting in increased F1 for (the low vowel /a/) in both languages, and increased duration for Mandarin Chinese.","PeriodicalId":145363,"journal":{"name":"1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132700559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
