Abstract:
Tone is a distinctive feature of the lexemes in tone languages. The information-structural category focus is usually marked by syntactic and morphological means in these languages, but sometimes also by intonation strategies. In intonation languages, focus is marked by pitch movements, which are also perceived as tone. The present article discusses prosodic focus marking in these two language types.

Abstract:
The introduction of High Dynamic Range Imaging in computer graphics has produced a novelty in Imaging that can be compared to the introduction of colour photography or even more. Light can now be captured, stored, processed, and finally visualised without losing information. Moreover, new applications that can exploit physical values of the light have been introduced such as re-lighting of synthetic/real objects, or enhanced visualisation of scenes. However, these new processing and visualisation techniques cannot be applied to movies and pictures that have been produced by photography and cin

Abstract:
Speech recognition has only recently been applied to Cantonese. Considerable effort, however, has been spent in recognizing Mandarin, the standard dialect of Chinese. Prior to this thesis, the only published work on monosyllabic Cantonese tone recognition is from Tan Lee et al. (1993,1995). This thesis is the first of its kind in that it explores memory-based learning as a viable approach for Cantonese tone recognition. The memory-based learning algorithm employed in this thesis outperforms the highly respected and widely used neural network approach. Various numbers of tones and features

This thesis studies the interactions of vowel tone with consonantal voice. Briefly, tone-voice interactions refer to: (i) voiced--not voiceless--onsets block high tone spreading; (ii) voiceless--not voiced--onsets block low tone spreading; (iii) sonorant onsets are transparent to both tonal processes. There are many variations to these archetypical patterns of tone-voice interactions. I argue that these variations as well as the archetypical patterns can receive a revealing account from the phonological theory. Specifically, this thesis explores the Prosodic Hypothesis of Tone-Voice, which cla

前人發現非母語者对言語的感知主要受其母語和聲學因素的影響。但是多數研究集中在音段(segment)方面,鮮有研究關注這些因素如何影響超音段(supra-segment)的感知。母語中的聲調可能使有聲調的語言使用者比無聲調的語言使用者在聲調感知中有更好的發揮,兩組無聲調的語言使用者在各自母語的影響下,對聲調感知的表現也未必一致。本文旨在探索母語和聲學因素如何影響非母語者對廣東話聲調的感知。三組非母語者參加了我們的實驗。普通話組是有聲調的語言使用者, 英語組和法語組是無聲調的語言使用者。實驗一採用AX辨別範式 (AX discrimination) ,實驗材料包括廣東話言語聲調(speech tones)和非言語聲調 (non-speech tones)。實驗結果顯示,被試在聽辨言語聲調和非言語聲調時有不同的表現。在聽辨言語聲調時,一方面三組被試受聲調間的聲學距離影響在某些聲調組有相似表現,但另一方面普通話組在母語聲調的影響下,在總體上和某些聲調組中都比英語和法語組有更好的表現。相反,在聽辨非言語聲調時,三組被試的表現並無明顯的差異。實驗二採用相似度評判範式 (dissimilarity rating),實驗材料為廣東話言語聲調。實驗結果顯示,被試在母語的影響下,側重不同的感知特徵 (perceptual cues)。普通話組對聲調的調形 (pitch direction) 比較敏感。
