This special issue aims to address questions about how lexical tones are processed by humans and machines in the context of natural, continuous speech. Lexical tones in tone languages have been widely investigated in the fields of linguistics, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, and language acquisition by applying a wide range of theoretical, empirical, and experimental approaches. As the phonetic representation of lexical tones which are produced in connected speech can differ considerably from that of lexical tones which are produced in isolation, research interests constantly grow in how lexical tones are produced, perceived, and processed in realistic speech data. This special issue aims to bring together methodologies from different research disciplines to extend our understanding of lexical tones used in real speaking situations. We welcome submissions addressing the following issues. |
