 note = {application/pdf, This is an interlanguage study of Chinese dialect speaker’s acquisition processes of
perceptual identification of the characteristic intonation in Japanese, associated with
particular functions such as ‘invitation’and ‘negation’. Ten Chinese dialect speakers
of Japanese at the beginners’ level and 10 L1 Japanese speakers served as subjects.
Categorical perceptual identification tests were repeated 3 times extending over 1
year and 8 months. The task was to identify the prosodic meaning of both natural
and synthesized speech with rising and falling tones of the final vowel /i/ of the word
tabenai (literally “not eat”) at 14 different pitch levels.
　In the case of natural speech, 96 percent of the stimuli were, on average, correctly
identified throughout the entire test. The reason for this high score could be attributed
to the fact that the stimuli were enunciated so distinctively between ‘invitation’ and
‘negation’that the subjects could easily distinguish them. In the case of synthesized
speech, the Chinese subject’s average rates of identification of ‘invitation’ in the
perceptual identification tests gradually came close to the L1 speaker’s as the tests were
repeated.},
