This document provides information about an invited speech on "Taiwan Min tone space". The speech will be given by Professor Ho-hsien Pan from National Chiao Tung University on April 27th from 14:00-15:30. The speech will explore how speech perception is affected by the auditory system, phonological inventory, and allophonic rules using non-speech hummed tones and Taiwan Min lexical tones. It will investigate the effect of phonological inventories and allophonic tone sandhi variations by comparing perceptual tone spaces of Swedish, Taiwan Mandarin, and Taiwan Min listeners. Results from AX discrimination tests on Taiwan Min lexical tones with seven sandhi rules showed clearest perceptual tonal distinctions

Speech perception is affected by the auditory system, phonological inventory, and
allophonic rules. Using non-speech hummed tones and Taiwan Min lexical tones, the effect of auditory properties on tone perception was explored. Comparing perceptual tone spaces of Swedish, Taiwan Mandarin, and Taiwan Min listeners, the effect of phonological inventories and allophonic tone sandhi variations was investigated. The response times and answers from AX discrimination tests on Taiwan Min lexical tones, with seven sandhi rules that form a chain relationship, were analyzed using multidimensional scaling analysis. Results showed that perceptual tonal distinctions were the clearest for Min listeners and the most confusing for Swedish listeners. The highest error rate on speech stimuli and the lowest error rates on non-speech hummed tones for Swedish listeners reflected the influence of auditory properties on tone perception. Swedish listeners perceived non-speech hummed tones and speech juncture tones in patterns resembling Min sandhi chain. Both Mandarin and Min listeners’ tonal distribution patterns resembled Min sandhi chains, Taiwan Mandarin listeners perceived as different the juncture and sandhi tones of the same surface pitch contours, whereas Taiwan Min listeners perceived them to be similar. The Taiwan Min sandhi chain is psychologically real in the minds of Min listeners.
