合肥话单字调的知觉研究 = RESEARCH ON THE MONOSYLLABIC TONE PERCEPTION OF HEFEI DIALECT

Abstract

This thesis attempts to draw a phonetic description of the pitch curve of the monosyllabic tone of Hefei dialect using experimental phonetics method. Based on that, it utilizes fitting tests and identification tests on the problematic tone values of tone1, tone2, and tone3 with the help of synthetic stimuli. This essay also attempts to study the perception pattern of similar pitch contours and dissimilar pitch contours focusing on two pairs of monosyllabic tones.
