Tones of a Tridialectal: Acoustic and Perceptual Data on Ten Linguistic Tonetic Contrasts Between Lao, Nyo and Standard Thai
Authors:
Phil Rose, Department of Linguistics (Arts), Australian National University (Australia)
Page (NA) Paper number 297
Abstract:
One way of investigating how tone languages and dialects differ with respect to their tonal phonetics is to use bilingual or bidialectal speakers. In this paper, the tones of a speaker who has native command of not just two, but three varieties of tone language are investigated acoustically and perceptually: Standard Thai, with 5 tones; Lao, with 7; and Nyo, with 4. This makes a maximum of 16 possible Linguistic-tonetically different tones. Mean fundamental frequency and duration values are presented for the allotones of the Lao, Standard Thai and Nyo tonemes on syllables with unstopped Rhymes. A perceptual experiment is described to determine how many of the 16 allotones are identifiable by Nyo tridialectal listeners. This approach enables us in a sense to see through the ears of both native speaker and native listener. The acoustic and perceptual data are used to demonstrate the existence of 10 linguistic-tonetically distinct tones. It is speculated that this might represent an upper limit for a multidialectal speaker.

Tone Sandhi Between Complex Tones in a Seven-Tone Southern Thai Dialect
Authors:
Napier Guy Ian Thompson, Department of Linguistics (Arts), Australian National University (Australia)
Page (NA) Paper number 309
Abstract:
This paper examines the behaviour of complex tones in tone sandhi, using data from a seven-tone Southern Thai dialect. Measurements of mean fundamental frequency and duration are presented for unstopped and stopped citation allotones and also for unstopped tones in combination. Tonological implications are drawn.

The Acoustic And Perceptual Features Of Tone In The Tibeto-Burman Language Ao Naga
Authors:
Alexander Robertson Coupe, Australian National University (Australia)
Page (NA) Paper number 688
Abstract:
The tonemes of the Waromung Mongsen dialect of Ao Naga, a Tibeto-Burman of northeast India, are described with respect to their auditory and acoustic features. Even though rather small FO differences are found to separate each contrasting toneme, the results of a perception test nevertheless demonstrate that these small differences are perceptually salient to a native speaker and are readily identifiable.

The Differential Status of Semivowels in the Acoustic Phonetic Realisation of Tone
Authors:
Phil Rose, Department of Linguistics (Arts), Australian National University (Australia)
Page (NA) Paper number 298
Abstract:
This paper examines one aspect of the phonetic mapping of tone onto segmental material. It asks whether prevocalic semivowels ([j- & w-]) can be said to constitute part of the material over which tonal F0 is distributed. The distribution of acoustical correlates of tone (F0, duration) is determined on syllables differing with respect to semivowels in the segmental structure in three of the contrasting contour tones (falling, convex and low rising) from the Chinese Wu dialect of Zhenhai. Four different syllable-structures are examined. It is concluded that (1) syllable-initial semivowels are not tonally relevant, and (2) semivowels behave differentially with respect to phonetic mapping depending on whether they are preceded by a syllable-initial consonant. Implications of the finding are explored for the phonological integration of semivowels into metrical syllable structure. The relevance of the finding is also pointed out for the measurement of tone (and intonation) acoustics in running speech.
