Title: | Directional asymmetry in lexical tone perception | Authors: | Wayland, R Chen, S Zhou, F Hong, Y |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Source: | Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2020, v. 39, 060005 | Abstract: | Directional asymmetries in cross-linguistic vowel discrimination, in which a change from a less peripheralvowel to a more peripheral vowel was found easier to detect than the reverse direction, has been welldocumented. However, the perceptual processes underlying the phenomenon remain to be fully understood.This study explored asymmetries in Mandarin lexical tone discrimination by native Mandarin and nativeCantonese listeners. Both groups of listeners found a change from Mandarin tone 1 to all other Mandarintones easier to detect than the reverse direction. However, the opposite was true for Mandarin tone 3.Neither processing load nor training had an impact on the results. Stimulus dynamicity, phonologicalunderspecification and language-independent acoustic salience were discussed as possibly to account for theobserved asymmetric pattern. | Publisher: | Acoustical Society of America | Journal: | Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics | EISSN: | 1939-800X | DOI: | 10.1121/2.0001300 | Description: | 178th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, 2-6 December 2019, San Diego, CA | Rights: | © 2020 Acoustical Society of America.
