We are particularly interested in testing whether the previously reported the right-hemisphere advantage in Cantonese lexical tone processing in dichotic listening [1] is replicable. More importantly, we aim to explore whether the brain lateralization pattern for tone processing is influenced by tone awareness. Sixteen native Cantonese speakers that were proficient in Jyutping and eighteen matched controls were asked to discriminate and identify Cantonese tones in dichotic listening. A right-hemisphere advantage was found in the discrimination task but not in the identification task. Findings from the discrimination task were generally consistent with [1] and supported the acoustic hypothesis of brain lateralization in lexical tone processing. However, the identification task might require more higher-level linguistic processing in the left hemisphere, resulting in more bilateral processing. No differences in hemispheric advantage were found between the two groups, although the Jyutping group outperformed controls in tone discrimination and identification in some conditions. The temporary conclusion is that late learning of Jyutping in adulthood may have limited effect on reshaping the brain lateralization of Cantonese lexical tone processing.","PeriodicalId":233495,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Tonal Aspects of Languages (TAL 2018)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121642559","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}

It has been hypothesized that the cross-linguistic distribution of PFC parallels that of the Nostratic macro-family. The present study is a test of this Nostratic-origin hypothesis through a comparison of focus prosody in Brahvi, a Dravidian language, and Balochi, an Indo-Iranian language, both alleged members of the Nostratic macro-family. Twenty native speakers from each language produced declarative sentences with different focus conditions. Acoustic analysis showed that, in both languages, post-focus F0 peaks are significantly lower than those in baseline neutral-focus sentences. But post-focus lowering of F0 and intensity is greater in Balochi than in Brahvi. These results offer evidence that at least one of the Dravidian languages has PFC, which is consistent with the Nostraticorigin hypothesis. The weaker form of PFC in Brahvi, however, suggests that factors that may weaken PFC in a language need to be investigated, and other Dravidian languages also need to be studied for the presence of PFC.","PeriodicalId":233495,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Tonal Aspects of Languages (TAL 2018)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124520595","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}

Tonogenesis in Seoul Korean and L3 Production of Korean stops by Cantonese- English Bilinguals 首尔韩语的张力生成和L3由粤语-英语双语者制作的韩语停止

We are also interested to examine the source and direction of crosslinguistic influences in the acquisition of VOT and F0 patterns which are used for the stop contrasts. Sixteen L3 Korean learners differing in proficiencies (beginning vs. intermediate) were recorded reading a list of words embedded in carrier sentences in the three languages. Results from acoustic analyses found that the learners did not merge VOTs for the Korean lax and aspirated stop contrast, but they showed the tendency for tonogenesis, such as their heavy use of f0 in producing different Korean stops. Furthermore, comparison between the beginners and the intermediate learners revealed various cross-linguistic influences: regressive transfer of f0 on L1 and L2, bidirectional interaction of f0 values between L2 and L3, and L1 influence on the production of VOT in L2 and L3. These findings suggest that L3 transfer happens in a cue-by-cue manner, i.e. VOT and f0 need to be accounted for separately.","PeriodicalId":233495,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Tonal Aspects of Languages (TAL 2018)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121230047","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}

The application of this theory to intonation languages spawned a family of transcription approaches known as Tones and Break Indices, or ToBI. This general theoretic framework, informed by metrical stress theory, has come to be known as autosegmental-metrical (AM) theory. Yet, a number of weaknesses and limitations have been noted, both at the theoretical and empirical levels. We argue that core limitations in the traditional AM theoretic approach can be traced clearly to a failure to consistently and transparently encode syntagmatic relationships in phonology. Building on the core insights of traditional AM theory, and drawing on empirical evidence about cognitive representations for pitch from phonetics, music cognition, music theory, and cognitive neuroscience, we propose a new theoretic approach, termed enhanced AM theory, or AM+. This proposal offers a theoretical clarification of syntagmatic elements in phonology. It is shown that attributing both syntagmatic and paradigmatic properties to tones provides a unifying account of multiple outstanding challenges in tone and intonation research that have not yet found a satisfactory explanation.","PeriodicalId":233495,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Tonal Aspects of Languages (TAL 2018)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127383569","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}
