This paper reviews research papers published since 1990 on the acquisition of the Tokyo accent and intonation by foreign learners of Japanese. Intonation studies examined in this paper were mainly focused on the acquisition of sentence final pitch patterns for interrogative sentences in Japanese. As for accent acquisition studies, both production and perception studies were analyzed. With the surprising improvements of computer technology in recent years, it is expected that a great amount of progress could be done in research on the acquisition of accent and intonation in the future.

Japanese learners of Spanish often fail to perceive lexical stress in rising intonation contexts, although they tend to perceive stress correctly in falling intonation contexts. A perception experiment, conducted with two groups of listeners (L1 Spanish speakers and Japanese learners of L3 Spanish), revealed that the timing of the sharp fo rise was the most important acoustic cue for both of the listener groups. Syllable duration was also found to have a positive effect on stress perception, but the effect was weaker for the Japanese listeners.

This paper examines the relationship between phonology and phonetics. After reviewing a version of Lexical Phonology and Ladefoged's phonetic view of phonology, I argue that phonology and phonetics are in a derivational relationship and propose a generative phonetic model which is intended to integrate the idea of Lexical Phonology and Ladefoged's view. In the model proposed here, the phonology-phonetics interface is located at the level of allophonic transcription, which is referred to as systematic phonetic transcription (Ladefoged 1993) or categorical phonetic representation (Keating 1990). It is also argued that the psychological reality of this categorical level is supported by a listener's categorical perception.

The place of articulation in Japanese moraic-nasals is known to vary in accordance with the following sound and is assumed to be uvular in the word final position. This paper attempted to describe articulatory variability of word-final moraic-nasals using the X-ray microbeam speech production database in Japanese. The results depicted substantive inter-speaker variability in three of the four words examined. Moreover, 75% of the data examined were deemed unlikely to be uvular nasals and the lips were likely to be closed in 40% of the data. The results do not support the claim that word-final moraic-nasals are uvular.

President Obama's public speeches and private dialogues were phonetically analyzed. Prominence, both in speeches and in dialogues, depended on pitch change most, pitch second, and sound pressure third. In the speeches, non-falling tones were used at the end of more than 1/3 of the tone groups and the percentage of non-falling tones at nuclei was around 40%. The speeches consisted of 60–70% speech and 40–30% pause. Although little difference was noticed in the frequency of pause appearance between the speeches and the dialogues, the average length of pause was more than 2.3 times in the speeches. The slow-down in the speeches was not caused by the rate of articulation but by the longer pauses. For emphasis, there were the rate reduction at the tone group to emphasize, or the sound lengthening at the item just before the emphasized tone group with the greatest rate, and conversely the rate elevation at the tone group preceding it.

This volume presents a comprehensive discussion of the major topics and concepts of phonetics. The main body of the book falls into two parts, General Phonetics and English Phonetics, which are subdivided into ten and seven chapters respectively. At the beginning of the second part, the author provides a well-balanced introduction to regional and social varieties of English. The best merit of the present work lies in the fact that the author undertakes a very appropriate attempt to include several chapters on Japanese phonetics. On the whole, this book makes clear and informative reading for those generally interested in general and English phonetics as well as those interested in Japanese phonetics.

Previous studies on sokuon, or Japanese geminate consonants, have mainly focused on the acoustic properties. Some studies claim that laryngeal characteristics also differ between sokuon and singletons. However, physiological studies on sokuon are not well explored. This study uses a high-speed digital video system and PGG to examine whether any laryngeal/glottal tension takes place in producing sokuon. The results showed that no apparent laryngeal constriction or glottal stop appeared during sokuon. However, the analysis of PGG and kymograph showed that the glottal opening tends to be suppressed during sokuon during the onset part, suggesting that some kind of tension of the vocal folds is involved in producing the phoneme.

本研究は,幼児の音素習得の順序に影響を与えている言語に固有の要因を調査することを目的とした。各言語によって,音素の習得順序には差異があることが知られており,出現頻度やその言語における音韻的役割などが,その原因として挙げられる。日本人幼児の言語習得において,後部歯茎摩擦音/破擦音の習得は,言語一般に考えられているよりも早いことが知られているため,[∫][t∫][s]に注目し,母親の子供への話しかけの中での出現頻度と,その音素の現れる環境を調べた。その結果,母親の発話の中では幼児に対して使う幼児語表現の多さから,異なり語数は少ないものの,後部歯茎摩擦音/破擦音の延べ出現数が高くなっていることがわかった。

Through searches on the Internet using Google, 396 adjective expressions that immediately precede the noun kutyoo (tone of voice) were identified as candidates for the major types of Japanese speech styles. Thirty-seven percent of them characterize the speaker's emotional, physical or social state, 31% describe the social or psychological relationship between the speaker and the hearer, and 17% concern the styles used in particular situations or of particular speakers. Comparisons with the results of other searches using Google performed 11 months later and with those using Yahoo! JAPAN Search revealed that there are 16 kutyoos that are constantly used with high frequency on the Internet. They are, in frequency order, tuyoi (strong), meeree (commanding), yasasii (gentle), teeneena (polite), kibisii (severe), odayakana (mild), ikari (angry), karui (light, not heavy), sizukana (quiet), tantantosita (plain), kitui (stern), otituita (calm), hagesii (violent), setumee (explaining), reesee (cool), and dantee (assertive) tones of voice. A multidimensional scaling analysis of perceived similarities among these kutyoos suggests that they can be grouped into 12 categories of speech style.

This paper explains the procedure to enhance the expressiveness in acted speech. We designed our own "format of acting script" referring to the theory of drama and created 280 acting scripts. We presented these acting scripts as acting directions to three actresses and collected 840 speech data. For comparison, using typical emotional words as acting directions, we also collected 160 speech data from each actress. Then, we compared tendencies of various features of each data type and each speaker and found that our acting scripts are effective on the enhancement of expressiveness in acted speech psychologically/acoustically.

本研究では,日本人大学生45名を被験者とし,第二言語習熟度に関連すると思われる社会認知能力と運動能力を検討した。具体的にはまず,英語習熟度をTOEICのリスニング,リーディングおよび合計スコアに加え,読解速度と語彙力により求めた。社会認知能力は,Baron-Cohenが開発した3種の社会性指標で求め,さらにワーキングメモリ容量を算出した。学習者の運動能力については,反復横跳び,垂直跳び,握力,長座体前屈,12分間走により,5種類の基本身体能力を測定した。検査課題で得られた英語習熟度と両能力の結果を相関解析した。社会認知能力に関し,男性では共感指数は語彙力と負の相関を示し,語彙力の高い学習者は対人関係に敏感でない傾向が示唆された。運動能力に関し,12分間走と垂直跳びが英語習熟度に関連していることから,第二言語習得に関し学習者は根気強さとエネルギーが必要であることを明らかにした。言語習熟度と他の能力との相互関係に,男女差が影響を与えている可能性も示唆した。

Compilation of a large-scale corpus of spontaneous Japanese monologue is underway as a joint work of the National Language Research Institute (under the Agency of Cultural Affairs) and the Communications Research Laboratory (under Ministry of Post and Telecommunication). The corpus will contain about 700 hours of digitized speech (about 7 million morphemes), its transcription, and various tagging information such as POS information. Phonological labels (segmental as well as prosodic) will be provided for a subset of the corpus. The corpus will become publicly available in the spring of 2004.

The level of phonetic realization of lexical accent (reduced level, which, in the case of words with an accent kernel, is exhibited by a low F0 value, or full level) is one of the major determinants of sentence intonation in Tokyo Japanese. Three experiments were conducted to provide evidence to support the author's previous claim that the reduction of accent level is triggered by semantically restrictive modification, and not by syntax. In Experiment 1, F0 values of the first two constituents of [[A[BC]]D] and [A[[BC]D]] were compared. The results indicated the irrelevance of overall syntactic branching structure for the accent level. In Experiments 2 and 3, peak F0 values of nouns with an accent kernel in semantically restrictive and non-restrictive conditions were investigated acoustically and perceptually. The results supported the prediction: nouns have lower F0 values when they are semantically restricted by the directly preceding modifier than when they are not.

This study found that segment duration is perceived categorically in Japanese. Using a speech time-scale modification algorithm, PICOLA plus 2, the nonword /kesonato/ pronounced by a native Japanese male was manipulated to generate stimulus continua. The durations of /s/, /n/, /a/, and /t/ closure interval were manipulated in four continua. In the first experiment, three stimulus pairs which had the same disparity in duration were selected from the short, long, and middle region of each continuum. Forty-eight randomized trials were presented to twenty native Japanese, who were asked individually to distinguish the stimuli by the ABX method. Pairs from the short and long regions of the continua were not accurately discriminated while pairs from the middle region were. In the second experiment, 44 stimuli were selected from every continuum. They were presented to the subjects for identification in Hiragana (Japanese characters). The second result demonstrated the existence of a moraic phoneme boundary paralleling the discrimination peak in the first experiment. This research concluded that native Japanese perceive the duration of relatively steady-static sounds categorically. And also it is suggested that native Japanese utilize an automatic duration detection routine.

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) measures weak magnetic fields generated by neuronal activities of the human brain during various information processing. It enables reseachers to estimate which part of the brain is active at which phase of information processing with high temporal and spatial resolutions without any bio-hazards. Neuromagnetic approaches to phonetics are providing new insights on neuronal mechanisms including bottom-up and top-down processes responsible for phonetic categorization and spoken language processing, based on which some of the controversial issues in conventional phonetics may be resolved in the future.
