intrinsic pitch and social factors in Mon-Khmer languages/ Journal of Language and Linguistics 27.2
The objective of this research was to investigate the interaction between intrinsic pitch and some social factors, namely sex and age, in 3 Mon-Khmer languages: chong, Khmu' and Nyah Kur. High vowels, [i] and [u], and the low vowel [a] were investigated; vowel duration d semitones were measured using Praat. For each language, the informants were 2 males and 2 females: one each over the ages of 60, 35 and 45 years old, and one under 20 years old. The IFO is present in Khmu' and Nyah Kur, but absent in Chong. Age and sex are significant factors affecting the size of the IFO across languages. As a result, the research supports the automatic consequence theory of the IFO phenomenon.
The relationships between speech tone and melody in the khap singing of Tai Dam in Laos
2015
The khap Tai Dam is the singing of the Tai Dam (or Black Tai) ethnic group. This paper presents the results of an ongoing research studying the relationship between spoken and sung tones in this specific repertoire. Two questions are addressed: (1) Are speech tones realised in khap Tai Dam singing? (2) Are the contours of speech and song similar or different in khap Tai Dam? The main results so far show that even without a strict parallel between spoken and sung tones, there is a correspondence between speech and singing in khap Tai Dam.
The roles of pitch and phonation in Vietnamese and Mandarin
TAL2018, Sixth International Symposium on Tonal Aspects of Languages, 2018
Pitch and phonation may be used individually or together in languages: some languages do not make systematic use of either property, others use one or the other, and others a combination, where different relationships may hold. We investigate this last option in Mandarin and Vietnamese using substantial, systematically collected corpora, first with auditory and visual (spectrogram) assessment of the presence of Creaky Phonation (CP), then with acoustic and statistical (Binary Logistic Regression) Analyses. We focus on the sắc and ngã tones in Vietnamese, claimed to contrast in CP not F0, and all four tones of Mandarin, where CP often arises with Tone 3 (dipping), and possibly others. We propose that despite differences in the distribution of F0 and CP, both languages crucially require underlying tonal contrasts, but differ in the source and role of CP. In Mandarin, CP correlates with low F0, as a type of "artifact", resulting in gender differences. In Vietnamese, CP cannot be due to F0, as it appears with high tones; instead, it is an additional "gesture" speakers may introduce along with F0 in producing the ngã tone, but need not, as seen in the emergence of two speaker groups based on their use of CP.
The realisation of speech tone in Tai Phake music: the case of the Khe Khyang style 1
This paper explores two main issues: Are the speech tones of Tai Phake realised when singing? Is there a concept of melody that is independent of speech and the speech tones among the Tai Phake?

High vowels tend to have higher intrinsic F0 (pitch) than low vowels (e.g. Lehiste, 1970; Whalen and Levitt, 1995). Higher intrinsic F0 occurs on vowels which follow voiceless consonants, lower intrinsic F0 occurs on vowels which follow voiced consonants. When high vowels follow voiced consonants and low vowels follow voiceless consonants, the voicing of initial consonants has been found to counterbalance the intrinsic F0 value of high and low vowels. In other words, voiced consonants will lower F0 values of high vowels, and voiceless consonants will raise F0 values of low vowels to the extent that the average F0 of these high vowels is actually lower than the average F0 of the low vowels under examination (Clark and Yallop, 1990; House and Fairbanks, 1953; Lehiste, 1970; Lehiste and Peterson, 1961; Laver, 1994). To test whether this counterbalance finding is applicable to Southeast Asian languages, the F0 values of high and low vowels following voiceless and voiced consonants were ...
Tonal Evolution in Malay Dialect
The F 0 values of vowels following voiceless consonants are higher than those of vowels following voiced consonants; high vowels have a higher F 0 than low vowels. It has also been found that when high vowels follow voiced consonants, the F 0 values decrease. In contrast, low vowels following voiceless consonants show increasing F 0 values. In other words, the voicing of initial consonants has been found to counterbalance the intrinsic F 0 values of high and low vowels , Lehiste 1970. To test whether these three findings are applicable to a disyllabic language, the F 0 values of high and low vowels following voiceless and voiced consonants were studied in a Malay dialect of the Austronesian language family spoken in Pathumthani Province, Thailand. The data was collected from three male informants, aged 30-35. The Praat program was used for acoustic analysis. The findings revealed the influence of the voicing of initial consonants on the F 0 of vowels to be greater than that of the influence of vowel height. Evidence from this acoustic study shows the plausibility for the Malay dialect spoken in Pathumthani to become a tonal language by the influence of initial consonants rather by the influence of the high-low vowel dimension.
