This book explores the relationship between tone perception and production among native speakers and non-native learners as illustrated in the experiments the author conducted with native speakers, true learners and heritage learners, all of whom were tested on their ability to produce tones naturally and to perceive 81 synthesized tones in various contexts. The experiments show that each group processes tones differently with regard to both register (tonal level) and contour (tonal shape). The results also reveal how three types of cues – acoustic, psychological and contextual – influence non-native speakers’ tone perception and production.Chinese languageLanguage and languagesLanguage and languagesChinesehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N18000Asian Languageshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N15000Chinese language.Language and languages.Language and languages.Chinese.Asian Languages.410490495.1Yang Beiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1225662BOOK9910483559503321Perception and Production of Mandarin Tones by Native Speakers and L2 Learners2845698UNINA
