The tonal phenomena we observe are composed of tonal layers, such as accent in a narrow sense, phrase intonation, each of which has its own function. Phonological interpretation of accent means the separation of these layers and extraction of accent. Segmental environments are concerned with interpretation, but grammatical information is not. Morphophonemic regularities, such as compound noun accent rules, are treated and described differently from phonological interpretation. These findings on accent are based on my fieldwork.

This research investigated the acquisition of long and short vowels and pitch accents through perception, sentence reading, and conversational discourse of the Japanese language by 20 Indonesian speakers. They made few errors in listening to short vowels, however, many errors in long ones, and final positioning was very difficult. Indonesians use pitch change as a source of information in long vowel recognition. While reading they made few errors in pronouncing long and short vowels as they read it consciously. In natural discourse, they committed errors in all middle, initial, final positions. In both reading and natural discourse, they pronounced long vowels without any pitch change.

The "Yotsugana" Phonemic System disappeared from the Kyoto and East Japanese dialects in the late 17th century, yet the system has remained in the Kyushu dialect. At the present time, the "Yotsugana" Phonemic System is distributed in certain districts in Kyushu, and only old aged persons now use this system. These districts are Saga Prefecture, the southern part of Fukuoka Prefecture, Hita and Kusu counties of Oita Prefecture, the central and southern parts of Miyazaki Prefecture, and Satsuma Peninsula and Osumi Peninsula of Kagoshima Prefecture. The merging process of "Yotsugana" Phonemic System varies according to the phonetic environment. (1) First, the distinction between /di/;/zi/ disappears , and then the distinction between /du/;/zu/ disappears. (2) The medial affricate consonant changes into a fricative, and the initial affricate consonant remains.

This paper is a critical review of Elisabeth M. de Boer's The Historical Development of Japanese Tone (Wiesbaden: Otto Harrassowitz Verlag, 2010). Traditionally, Kindaichi Haruhiko's reconstruction of the accentual system of Middle Kyoto Japanese has been widely accepted. About thirty years ago, however, an alternative theory was proposed by Samuel Robert Ramsey, according to which the tone values that Kindaichi had reconstructed as 'high' and 'low' are exactly reversed. De Boer, in her book, re-evaluates and builds on Ramsey's theory, while (almost) all other scholars have ignored it. In this paper, I introduce and review her book critically, and discuss some issues in the historical study of Japanese accent.

The Japanese interjection un as a negative response is said to have a unique tone-the falling-rising tone. However, the pitch of a Japanese word does not generally rise after a fall caused by accent. In order to verify the description of the falling-rising tone given in previous studies, I conducted two kinds of experiments: a reading task and a perception test. I found that the interjection requires a rising tone after falling. Therefore, I considered there to be two tone patterns of the interjection: a slight rising tone after falling and a prominent rising tone after falling.

Thanks to the abundance of old documents as wel as the excellent descriptive work conducted both by the Chinese themselves and foreigners, the study of Chinese phonology has flourished. This paper, which consists of the following seven sections, introduces various approaches taken in past studies of Chinese phonology, discusses current theoretical issues, and points out some of the important topics in this area. (1) The concept of ‘layer’ in historical phonology (2) Studies on the compiling process for documents on Chinese historical phonology (3) A method of projecting family trees on geographical distribution (4) Tracing recent phonological changes (5) Historical studies on tone and stress accent (6) Bilingual documents (7) Studies on old Chinese phonology and genetic relation between Chinese and the other language families

Two-pattern accent systems of Southwest Kyushu district can be classified into two large groups. One is "Kagoshima type" and the other is "Nagasaki type". "Kagoshima type" has a characteristic that falling tone appears at the end of an accent unit. On the other hand, "Nagasaki type" has a characteristic that falling tone appears on the first part of an accent unit. In this paper, I clarify the features of accent systems of the Kagoshima-shi dialect, Tanegashima dialect (these two dialects belong to "Kagoshima type"), Amakusa Hondo dialect and Yakushima Miyanoura dialect (these two dialects belong to "Nagasaki type") according to the general characteristics of N-pattern accent systems proposed by Uwano (1984, 2011), and I reveal the commonalities and differences between the accent systems of these four dialects. In addition, I present lists of the accents of particles/auxiliary verbs of the Nagasaki-shi dialect, Hondo dialect, Kagoshima-shi dialect and Tanegashima dialect, and I check the correspondences between four dialects.

This paper provides a general description of the phonological history of Okinawan language, mainly focusing on its palatalization and affricative changes. The outline of this paper is as follows; (1) Did the affricative change of */ki/ occur during the 16th century? (2) The affricative change of */ti/ already occurred in the beginning of the 16th century, prior to that of */ki/. (3) It appears that the affricative formation of */gi/ and */di/ occurred slightly later than that of */ki/ and */ti/. (4) The palatalization of */-ika/ had already occurred in the beginning of 16th century. (5) The affricative formation of */ita/ occurred in the beginning of 16th century. (6) The palatalization of */iga/ occurred in the beginning of 16th century. (7) The palatalization of */ida/ must have occurred during the 16th century.

近年の研究では,英語の単語・文レベルの強勢が下顎の開きの大きさに顕現することが示されてきた。この結果を踏まえ,本稿では日本語の韻律パターンがどのように下顎の開きに影響するかを検証した。対象としたのは日本語のピッチアクセント,韻脚(foot),韻律句(phonological phrase)の影響である。EMAを使った本実験によると,ピッチアクセントは日本語では顎の動きに影響が無く,韻脚もはっきりとした影響を及ぼしているとは言いがたい。しかし韻律句に関しては,句の最初や最後,特に文の最後に大きな顎の開きがみられ,ここに何かしら強勢を認めることができる。ここで浮かび上がってくる仮説は,「日本語にも強勢が存在する」というもので,従来の「英語=強勢言語,日本語=アクセント言語」という分類法に疑問を投げかける。

Japanese vowel devoicing is claimed to be less frequent in the Kinki dialect than in the Tokyo dialect (standard Japanese). In the present paper, frequency of vowel devoicing of /i/ in the non-sense /CiCe/ words is compared among Kinki- and Tokyo dialect speakers. The results indicated that, within pitch accent and speech rate groupings, some of the Kinki dialect speakers showed devoicing rates similar to that of the Tokyo dialect speakers. It was also confirmed that the devoicing rate for some Kinki dialect speakers was significantly less than that for Tokyo speakers. For Tokyo and Kinki speakers who had a high rate of devoicing, variation in rate of devoicing due to consonantal environment was 1) highly frequent (almost without exception) when a stop or an affricate was at least on one side, 2) less frequent (seemingly random) when fricatives were on both sides, and 3) infrequent (seemingly random) when there was a following /h/. A similar tendency was found for the Kinki speakers with a smaller rate of devoicing. The present results suggest that devoicing phenomena may be complex, occurring not only at higher (phonological) levels but also at the lower (phonetic) level.

Studies on language acquisition in infants have recently used brain imaging methods, such as NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) and EEG (electroencephalography) measurements, as well as classical behavioral methods. These studies have demonstrated developmental changes in neural and behavioral responses during speech processing. In this article, I review some studies on Japanese infants and address development of behavioral and brain responses to Japanese lexical pitch accent and phonemic vowel length underlying the change in speech perception abilities.

The regularity and characteristics which speech errors show have been regarded as a 'window' through which one can see how unconscious language production mechanisms work in the mind. The present study examines the phonological components of two influential models based on Japanese speech error data. It is suggested that WEAVER++ adopting verification system and syllabary explains the flow from the ordering of segments in phonological encoding to the articulator in a more convincing way, whereas the interactive activation model has advantages over WEAVER++ in describing the repeated phoneme effect observed often in Japanese sound exchange errors.

This paper researches the accentuation of Kochi City dialect and 4 dialects near to Izuta shrine, Kochi prefecture, presenting new evidence for the reconstructed forms suggested by Uwano (2006), including the form of type 7b of 3 mora nouns. The accentuation of the 4 dialects is similar to the Churin Tokyo Shiki (CTS for short) and generally shows the oldest states of CTS while their characteristic type-mergers of nouns reveal that they are not CTS. The differences probably derive from the difference of phonetic strength of the mora-internal fall of word-final accent kernels.

This article reviews some basic issues on spoken-word recognition, focussing on the mechanism of speech segmentation and a role of prosody. First, the mechanism of speech segmentation is discussed with reference to the rhythmic hypothesis. Second, the role of prosody in spoken-word recognition is discussed with the illustration of the phoneme activation model. It is argued that unlike the prosody in English and Chinese, the prosody in Japanese is involved with the selection of words in mental lexicon.

This paper explains a speech database of prattle and chat of a female baby 'Emi' with her mother. They were recorded for about one hour almost every month since Emi was six months old until she became a child of forty-five months old. You can listen and analyze how she gradually develops her vowels and consonants, and after many repetitions of failure and success, she acquires words and sentences to chat fluently in her native language, Osaka Japanese.

This study employs MRI motion imaging to investigate vowel-consonant coarticulation during utterances with /t//c//d//z//k/, and /g/ in the Japanese syllabary. Image analyses were conducted for the variation in horizontal and vertical tongue position. Results show the followings. 1) Variation in tongue position and shape was larger for consonants than for vowels. 2) Articulatory positions for consonants varied depending on concentration of consonants at specific regions. 3) So-called velar consonants /k/ and /g/ in Japanese were realized as post-palatal consonants. 4) Tongue positions for vowels were higher after velar consonants, while they were lower after alveolar consonants. 5) Japanese five vowels were observed in two groups, anterior-mid (/i//e//u/) and posterior-low (/a//o/), with /u/ as a non-back vowel and /a/ as a back vowel.
