The effect of Mandarin listeners' musical and pitch aptitude on perceptual learning of Cantonese level-tones
Contrary to studies on speech learning of consonants and vowels, the issue of individual
variability is less well understood in the learning of lexical tones. Whereas existing studies …

Adjustment of cue weighting in speech by speakers and listeners: Evidence from amplitude and duration modifications of Mandarin Chinese tone
Speech contrasts are signaled by multiple acoustic dimensions, but these dimensions are
not equally diagnostic. Moreover, the relative diagnosticity, or weight, of acoustic dimensions …
