DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1710752114
Abstract: Significance The variation of pitch in speech not only creates the intonation for affective communication but also signals different meaning of a word in tonal languages, like Chinese. Due to its subtle and brisk pitch… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/aud.0000000000000774
Abstract: Objectives: Lexical tone information provides redundant cues for the recognition of Mandarin sentences in listeners with normal hearing in quiet conditions. The contribution of lexical tones to Mandarin sentence recognition in listeners with hearing aids… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0033294117734832
Abstract: Music and language share perceptual resources, and both map sound to invariant categories—invariant over and within speakers for language and over instruments and keys for music. The effects of stimulus variability on lexical tone and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2017.00095
Abstract: Language experience enhances discrimination of speech contrasts at a behavioral- perceptual level, as well as at a pre-attentive level, as indexed by event-related potential (ERP) mismatch negativity (MMN) responses. The enhanced sensitivity could be the… read more here.

What Can Lexical Tone Training Studies in Adults Tell Us about Tone Processing in Children?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Frontiers in Psychology"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00001
Abstract: A growing number of studies on the acquisition of lexical tone by adult learners have revealed that factors such as language background, musical experience, cognitive abilities, and neuroanatomy all play a role in determining tone… read more here.
