AbstractTwo groups of native English speakers, relatively inexperienced (N = 14) with 3 months of Mandarin study and relatively more experienced (N = 14) with 12 months of study, were asked to identify coarticulated Mandarin lexical tones in disyllabic words. The results show that 1) the experienced learners were better at identifying Mandarin tones than the inexperienced learners, 2) Tones in coarticulation were more difficult to identify than tones in isolation, 3) tonal context and syllable position affected tonal perception, and 4) experienced learners committed fewer tonal direction errors than inexperienced learners. However, experienced learners still made a considerable amount of tonal height errors.

Chinese Dialects

Pitch is generally regarded as the exclusive distinctive tonal feature in tone descriptions of Chinese dialects. By means of acoustic experiments, this paper investigates the tones of the Fuqing dialect. The results show that the F0 of the shangsheng and yangqu tones are nearly identical. A perception experiment involving identification tests was conducted to explore the influence of tone length on tonal perception. The results show that length functions as the exclusive distinctive feature. This demonstrates the vital role length plays in a description of the tones of the Fuqing dialect.
