N170 reflects visual familiarity and automatic sublexical phonological access in L2 written word processing
The literature has mixed reports on whether the N170, an early visual ERP response to words, signifies orthographic and/or phonological processing, and whether these effects are moderated by script and language expertise. In this study, native Chinese readers, Japanese–Chinese, and Korean–Chinese bilingual readers performed a one-back repetition detection task with single Chinese characters that differed in phonological regularity status. Results…
Functional orthographic units in Chinese character reading
A Quantitative Study of Right Dislocation in Cantonese Spoken Discourse
Right Dislocation (RD) has been suggested to be a focus marking device carrying an affective function motivated by limited planning time in conversation. The current study investigated the effects of genre type, planning load and affective function on the use of RD in Cantonese monologues. Discourse data were extracted from a recently developed corpus of oral narratives in Cantonese Chinese containing language samples from 144 native Cantonese sp…
Feedback Consistency Effect on Writing-to-Dictation Task in Chinese
The influence of feed-forward consistency (FFC) (i.e., the consistency of mapping from the orthographic form to the pronunciation of the whole \ncharacter) on character recognition and reading aloud tasks have been well documented in a sizable literature in which subjects performed better on feed-forward consistent characters than inconsistent characters. Analogous to the FFC effect in reading aloud, the feedback consistency (FBC) effect (“consis…
A Cantonese linguistic communication measure
Although there has been a longstanding interest in English aphasic speech, studies of Cantonese aphasic narratives have only emerged recently. This paper presents a Cantonese linguistic communication measure (henceforth, CLCM), which is a convenient measure for analysing Cantonese aphasic narratives. Taking into consideration the characteristics of the Cantonese grammar, the lexical diversity, communication efficiency, grammaticality and elaborat…
Perception and production of Cantonese consonant endings
This paper reports findings from an experimental study of the perception and production of Cantonese consonant endings [m, n, η, p, t, k] by 40 male and female subjects who were university students at the time of the study. The subjects were presented with a series of tasks that had been specially designed for investigating their ability to perceive, produce and identify Cantonese, consonant endings. For the perception part of the study, subjects…
Hkcac
An adult language corpus of spoken Hong Kong Cantonese (HKCAC) has recently been developed consisting of spontaneous speech recorded from phone-in programs and forums on the radio in Hong Kong. The database represents the speech of a total of sixty-nine speakers in addition to the program hosts, and has approximately 170,000 characters. It is believed that HKCAC will be of great value to linguists who are interested in studying Cantonese, and spe…
