We assume that higher level planning requires within-phrase chunking and cross-phrase paragraph phrasing while information arrangements through emphasis weighting assignment and allocation. The above involved planning is most notably delivered through distinct global melodic modulations and patterns. The present compares the onset features of extracted Phrase Commands and their consistency with tagged discourse units and perceived emphases using speech data of L1 English, Taiwan (TW) L2 English and TW L1 Mandarin. Explicitly, we study F0 contour features to compare L1/L2 chunking units and their global patterns to pinpoint L2 features. Results of distinct TW L2 features compared with L1 English are (1) less consistent discourse chunking, (2) fewer distinct contours by prosodic words, (3) less degree of emphasis contrast in prosodic phrase and (4) more distinct contours in non-emphases. While (1) and (2) may reflect general L2 planning difficulties, our results show that (3) and (4) namely, flatter overall contour, are Mandarin inherent transferred to L2. We believe our proposed methods of extracted Phrase Command more accurately and better represent global melodic features that could be applied to other L1/L1 comparison in general; the findings could also be directly applied to CALL development of L2 prosody enhancement to improve overall intelligibility.","PeriodicalId":290790,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference Oriental COCOSDA held jointly with 2015 Conference on Asian Spoken Language Research and Evaluation (O-COCOSDA/CASLRE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131898643","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}

However, the teaching of English phonetics in minority regions faces the problems of poor teaching quality and low intelligibility of phonetic production. Under the framework of Speech Learning Model (SLM), the current research adopts the experimental phonetic approach to select 10 Lhasa students (5 male and 5 female) from the Corpus of Chinese, English, Tibetan by Tibetan Speakers (CETTS) and examine the characteristics of the vowel space of their English in continuous speech, with a purpose to explore minority students' phonetic transfer of L1 and L2 on L3 vowel system. Euclidean distances between Tibetan speakers' English and Tibetan, and between Tibetan speakers' English and Chinese, reveal the degree of phonetic transfer of Tibetan (L1) and Chinese (L2) on English (L3). Results show that the nonstandard English vowel production by Lhasa speakers are more influenced by the similar vowels in L1 or L2. Due to equivalence classification, Lhasa students' English vowels /a:/, /i:/ and /i/ are more influenced by Tibetan similar vowels, and their English vowels /α/ and /u:/ are more influenced by Chinese similar vowels. In addition, Tibetan female speakers' /α:/ is more influenced by the similar vowel in Chinese. The study has revealed that when Tibetan speakers learn L3, the interference seems to be partly from their L1 and partly from their L2. Therefore, in minority students' L3 vowel learning, both L1 and L2 have influence on their L3 vowel system.","PeriodicalId":290790,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference Oriental COCOSDA held jointly with 2015 Conference on Asian Spoken Language Research and Evaluation (O-COCOSDA/CASLRE)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114649260","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}

Current study compares the use of these correlates by 10 L1 English and 20 L1 Bengali speakers to find out which correlates are most difficult for Bengali speakers to acquire. Results showed that English and Bengali speakers used the acoustic correlates of vowel duration, intensity and F0 in similar manner, but Bengali speakers produced significantly less English like stress patterns. English speakers reduced vowel duration significantly more in the unstressed vowels compared to Bengali speakers and degree of intensity and F0 increase in stressed vowels by English speakers was higher than that by Bengali speakers. Moreover Bengali speakers produced English like vowel quality in certain unstressed syllables, but in other cases there were significant differences in vowel quality across groups. This study supports the idea of interference from L1 to L2 (nonnative) phonology.","PeriodicalId":290790,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference Oriental COCOSDA held jointly with 2015 Conference on Asian Spoken Language Research and Evaluation (O-COCOSDA/CASLRE)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121788810","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}

As a non-alphabetic tonal language, there is a complex neurobiological mechanism between visual picture processing and semantic priming, perception and production of prosodic patterns. The experimental materials employed in the study were the syntactic structure of Double Object construction with various information structures. The results show that the dyslexic participant, a native Chinese adult, i.e. M6, had an impaired perceptual ability to discriminate boundaries and sentence accents in different information structures. While on the aspect of production, both sentence accents and boundaries produced by M6 could be perceived by other normal participants, however, every syntactic structure has a consistent pattern in all the focus conditions. The results implied that in normal participants, prosody processing (i.e., sentence accent and boundary perception) was interacted with higher-level information of language, such as syntactic and information structures, however, the dyslexic shows no such interactions.","PeriodicalId":290790,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference Oriental COCOSDA held jointly with 2015 Conference on Asian Spoken Language Research and Evaluation (O-COCOSDA/CASLRE)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128285740","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}
