Search Symbol (Half-width)	Description of Search Symbols
Space	"AND" indicates the intertwining of key terms used in a search
Double Quotation Marks ("") ( " " )	Double quotation marks indicate the beginning and end of a phrase, and the search will only include terms that appear in the same order of those within the quotations. Example: "image process" ： " image process "
?	Indicates a variable letter. Entering two ? will indicate two variable letters, and so on. Example: "Appl?", search results will yield apple, apply… e , appl y … ( (often used to English word searches) )
*	Indicates an unlimited number of variable letters to follow, from 1~n. Example: Enter "appl*", search results will yield apple, apples, apply, applied, application…(often used in English word searches) e , appl es , appl y , appl ied , appl ication … ( (often used to English word searches) )
AND、OR、NOT	Boolean logic combinations of key words is a skill used to expand or refine search parameters. (1) AND (1) AND: Refines search parameters (2) OR (2) OR: Expands search parameters (3) NOT: Excludes irrelevant parameters

DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier （ D igital O bject I dentifier ） ,
and is the unique identifier for objects on the internet. It can be used to create persistent link and to cite articles.

Using DOI as a persistent link

To create a persistent link 「 https://doi.org/ 」 before a DOI.
For instance, if the DOI of an article is 10.5297/ser.1201.002 , you can link persistently to the article by entering the following link in your browser: https://doi.org/ 10.5297/ser.1201.002 。
The DOI link will always direct you to the most updated article page no matter how the publisher changes the document's position, avoiding errors when engaging in important research.

Cite a document with DOI

When citing a document with a DOI, the DOI permanent URL should always be presented (if using APA or Chicago format, present https://doi.org/DOI number). If using a citation format that does not specify DOI, the DOI permanent URL should still be presented as a priority.

DOIs allow accurate citations, improve academic contents connections, and allow users to gain better experience across different platforms. Currently, there are more than 70 million DOIs registered for academic contents. If you want to understand more about DOI, please visit airiti DOI Registration （ doi.airiti.com ）。

Parallel Abstract 〈TOP〉

This study examined durational cues at discourse boundaries in spontaneous speech in Taiwan Southern Min. Past studies have shown that cues such as syllable duration and pause duration can encode syntactic and discourse structures in speech by signalling the presence and strength of boundaries between units. In particular, this study set out to examine whether Taiwan Southern Min speakers used penultimate lengthening as a boundary cue and pre-boundary syllable duration as a negative hierarchy cue. Studies (Fon et al., 2011; Fon, 2002) have shown two language- and dialect-specific cues: Penultimate lengthening was used by Mandarin speakers but not English nor Japanese speakers. Also, Mandarin speakers in Taiwan used the pre-boundary syllable duration to signal the strength of the discourse boundary in an inverse manner, that is, stronger boundaries were marked with shorter syllable duration. This kind of negative correlation between syllable duration and boundary strength is not found in the Mandarin spoken in China. Taiwan Southern Min, a tone language spoken in Taiwan, is an ideal target for further investigation on these cross-linguistic and cross-dialectal differences because it provides a chance to test whether penultimate lengthening exists in tone languages in general or whether the“negative hierarchy effect” in Taiwan Mandarin is shared with Taiwan Southern Min. The present study used an eight-hour spontaneous monologue corpus contributed by sixteen speakers evenly split by gender and age. The segmentation of discourse units and the annotation of boundary strength between units were done following the method of Fon et al. (2011). Two durational cues were examined: syllable duration and post-syllable pause duration. Data were divided into six subsets according to three criteria: First, whether the discourse boundary coincided with an intonational phrase boundary. Second, whether there was a boundary pause or not. Third, whether the boundary was marked with a final particle. Results showed consistent penultimate lengthening. Also, the presence of a final particle extended the domain of pre-boundary lengthening to a tri-syllabic one. These findings suggested that tone languages might in general favor a larger domain of pre-boundary lengthening, although the effect of final particle suggest that word boundaries might also be a factor. As for hierarchy cues, the “Negative hierarchy effect” was observed, showing a similarity between Taiwan Mandarin and Taiwan Southern Min, raising a possibility that the former obtained this feature from the latter.
