TONE CATEGORIZATION IN TAIWANESE: A CASE STUDY IN CONCEPT FORMATION

台灣閩南語聲調的歸類:一個概念形成的個案研究

摘要


This study conducts a psycholinguistic experiment using the concept-formation paradigm to probe perception of tones across different syllable types. Native-speaking subjects were trained to perceive tonal identities in Taipei Taiwanese and then tested with novel tokens comprising checked versus non-checked pairs to see if comparable tonal values across distinct syllable types are categorized as 'having the same tone'. The results of our experiment indicate that 'tonal identity', like other concepts formed by human categorization, has its fuzzy edges. Extracting and establishing tonal identity becomes increasingly difficult as syllable structures become more different.

本文採用概念形成實驗法,進行一項檢驗舒促音節聲調感知之心理語言實驗。通過訓練台北地區閩南語母語人士分辨聲調異同,並使其參與辨聽調值近似而音節舒促不同之錄音樣本,以探索受試者是否將其歸類為「同調」。試驗結果說明,正如人類形成之其他概念一樣,「同調」概念也具有模糊性。音節結構差別愈大,建立「同調」概念便愈為困難。
