Abstract
This study investigates the role of phonation cues in perceiving Mandar tones in isolated syllables. Mandarin tones have been previously report to be sufficiently identified by F0 contour, while phonation cues are redundant. This study provides evidence to show that native Mandar speakers are sensitive to phonation cues in identifying the four mandarin tones in isolated syllables. Moreover, Mandarin Tone 3 more strongly relies on phonation cues in its identification than the other three tone which probably derives from the usual accompanying non-modal voice (creaky voice) in Tone 3 production. These results thus indicate the ne to define language tones in a finer model that incorporates detail phonation paramers.
本文调查了发声信息在汉语单音节四声感知中的作用。以往研究中认为基频（F0）足以感知汉语四声，而发声信息是冗余信息，不影响汉语四声的感知。本文的研究提供证据表明汉语母语者在四声感知中利用了声调的发声信息。尤其对于在发音中常常伴有紧喉嗓音（Creaky voice）的汉语上声音节，发声信息被用于识别汉语上声的效果更为显著。本文的研究也说明有必要建立包含详细发声参数的声调模型。
