Syntactic Tones of Nouns in Bemba
… of the study. This study investigates tones of nouns in citation form and nouns when used in different grammatical contexts. Thus, a sample of 100 nouns were picked and used in different syntactic frames to show how the tonal patterns change in different grammatical environments. This …

Audiovisual perception of Mandarin lexical tones.
… on audiovisual perception of Mandarin lexical tones. The results of the experiments which employed behavioural and event-related potential measures provided evidence that visual information has an effect on auditory lexical tone perception. First, lexical tone perception benefits from adding …

Spectral Matching of Musical Instrument Tones
This thesis shows how to solve two classic problems in computer music: finding parameters for wavetable and frequency modulation (FM) synthesis that reproduce a particular tone. Previous FM and wavetable matching methods have used trial-and-error or computationally expensive techniques in matching …

Lexical and post-lexical tones in Akan
… factors that contribute to the surface forms of tones in connected speech in Akan. Akan is an African tone language, which is spoken in Ghana. It has two level tones (low and high), automatic and non-automatic downstep. Downstep is the major factor that influences the surface forms of tones. The …

The Production and Identification of Mandarin Tones in Context
… is to study the acoustic variation of Mandarin tones produced in context by native Mandarin speakers (Study I) and how these acoustic variations of Mandarin tones influence L2 learners’ identification of Mandarin tones (Study II). Study I revealed that both F0 contour and F0 height of the two …

Comparing Human Perception to Computational Classifications of Lexical Tones
This dissertation analyzed the tonal and acoustic properties of utterances produced from five native Thai speakers. The computational model produced classifications based on predictions made by a Hidden Markov Model that simulates tone perception and categorization. The computational model tested …

An Isoperimetric Inequality for Fundamental Tones of Free Plates
We adapt Weinberger's method from the corresponding free membrane problem, taking the fundamental modes of the unit ball as trial functions. These solutions are a linear combination of Bessel and modified Bessel functions.

Singing in Chaozhou: The Relationship between Tones and Songs
… what extent, the pitches and pitch patterns of tones are preserved when they are sung. This thesis explores the relationship between lexical tones and musical pitch in Chaozhou, a Southern Chinese language characterised by eight tones in isolated speech and even more tonal variations in …

Pitch representations in the auditory nerve : two concurrent complex tones
… in response to two concurrent harmonic complex tones with missing fundamentals and equal-amplitude harmonics. We investigated the efficacy of rate-place and interspike-interval codes to represent both pitches of the two tones, which had fundamental frequency (FO) ratios of 15/14 or 11/9. We …

Earth Tones: How Environmental Journalism and Environmental Ethics Influence Environmental Citizenship
Environmental ethics and environmental journalism are influencing the developing philosophy of environmental citizenship. This philosophy involves the ideas that people are part of the environment, that the future depends on a healthy environment, and that action on behalf of the environment is …
