Abstract:

<p> This dissertation investigates the occurrence of an intermediate stage, termed a covert contrast, in the acquisition of Mandarin Tone 2 (T2) and Tone 3 (T3) by adult speakers of American English. A covert contrast is a statistically reliable distinction produced by language learners that is not perceived by native speakers of the target language (TL). In second language (L2) acquisition, whether a learner is judged as having acquired a TL phonemic contrast has largely depended on whether the contrast was perceived and transcribed by native speakers of the TL. However, categorical perceptio

Abstract:

The current study lays the groundwork for a model of Mandarin tones based on both native speakers' and non-native speakers' perception and production. It demonstrates that there is variability in non-native speakers' tone productions and that there are differences in the perceptual boundaries in native speakers and non-native speakers. There are four experiments in this study. Experiment 1 utilizes native speakers' production data from a published speech database to explore the features of tone production by native speakers. Inter-speaker normalization is used to analyze the data. Experiment 2

Abstract:

The early stage of piano students' training is one of the most important, because it is then that they establish their habits for life. Those who teach beginners need clear principles for developing a solid technical foundation and for preventing bad technical habits. One of the most difficult principles to inculcate in young students is that of tone production and quality. The primary purpose of this study is to provide a pedagogical guide to help piano teachers teach tone production to elementary-level students. To accomplish this purpose, the strategies of the twentieth-century pedagogues J

Abstract:

Good tone is one of an alto saxophone player's greatest assets and consequently deserves high priority in training and pedagogy.

This study examined the effect of the normal mouthpiece pitch and the pitch range produced on the saxophone mouthpiece on alto saxophone tone quality . In this experimental study, recordings were made of forty-three student alto saxophone players who performed tasks consisting of three saxophone mouthpiece exe

The aim of this study is to gain insight into how experienced children’s choir conductors work with the development of voices in the elementary school age. The work primarily focuses on aspects of vocal production such as finding and matching pitch, intonation, tone quality, resonance and falsetto singing. Because of the inherent complex nature of singing, the work also to some extent covers other aspects of choir singing such as breath, posture and organisation. Three experienced Swedish choir directors were interviewed with a qualitative method. The results show that the directors’ methods w

This thesis readdresses the notion 'Tong Fang' through the lens of supply- side perspective.

The wider socio-political implications are ignored as the social relations, forces and processes that are indispensable in comprehending the existence of Tong Fang are utterly unaddressed.

The results were reached through the analyzing of four important works of this era, representing different provinces and genres. The examined movies have shown frequent use of extreme characters and a somewhat hostile environment in search of an interesting story. The music is used in ways of describing clas

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>外國語文學系碩博士班<br>95<br>Tones in Mandarin Chinese are essential for determining lexical meanings. Lacking sufficient auditory feedback, Mandarin-speaking hearing-impaired children may have a hard time mastering tones.The present study aims to investigate how the time course of tone acquisition of hearing-impaired children of pre-school age differs from that of hearing-normal children of the same age. We also want to examine the differences between the acoustic tonal values of the tones produced by hearing-impaired children of pre-school age and those produced by children of the sam

Abstract:

The purpose of this treatise is to discuss tone production on the piano, specifically focusing on the research of Otto Rudolph Ortmann, whose work marked a turning point in the history of piano pedagogy and set a new standard for piano-related scholarship. Writing in the early twentieth century, Ortmann, who was both an accomplished pianist and an avid scientist, was one of the first to consciously and meticulously combine the two fields. Today, Ortmann's books are mostly out of print and his research is little known by the average piano student or teacher. However, Ortmann's books greatly

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the perception and production of lexical tone. In the first experiment, categorical perception of asymmetric synthetic tone continua was examined in speakers of tonal (Thai, Mandarin, and Vietnamese) and non-tonal (Australian English) languages. It was observed that perceptual strategies for categorisation depend on language background. Specifically, Mandarin and Vietnamese listeners tended to use the central tone to divide the continuum, whereas Thai and Australian English listeners used a flat no-contour tone as a perceptual anchor; a split based not on tonal vs

Abstract:

An investigation was done on the methods used by performers of classical flute music to improve their flute tone. A literature study was done and a methodology created. This resulted in detailed dissection and then discussion of the various aspects that influence flute tone. Thereafter a series of practice charts were developed, which can be used to guide performers, students and teachers in their experiment to improve and diversify flute tone. The key areas of flute tone that were examined are: embouchure, lip flexibility, vibrato and tone colour. It has been found that different methods work

碩士<br>臺北市立教育大學<br>溝通障礙碩士學位學程<br>98<br>Previous studies have showed that cochlear implant (CI) helps to improve the speech perception for individuals with severe to profound hearing impairment. However, there are only few studies investigating the speech production of CI users. Furthermore, most studies were carried out in English speakers. Since Mandarin is a tonal language, thosee results from English speakers might not be applied directly to Mandarin speakers. The present study investigated the production of lexical tone and voice characteristics by the Mandarin-speaking children with a CI,

In perception experiment, subjects identifying auditory tonal stimuli using Mandarin tonal labels. The results of perception experiment showed that L2 learners had significant difficulty in identifying tone 3 and tone 2 while tone 1 and tone 4 showed high accuracy rate. The analysis of tonal context, in first syllable position, acoustic variations of tonal contexts had significan
