Thesis discussion. ; Mandarin is a tonal language with four lexical tones and two contextual tones, i.e., neutral tone and tone sandhi, exhibiting tonal variations across contexts. Previous studies found that Mandarin-learning children acquire lexical tones early (before 3yrs.), but the neutral tone and tone sandhi are later acquired (after 4;6). Children with hearing impairment/cochlear implants (CIs) have problems in acquiring lexical tones unless implanted early or have long CI experience, since CIs do not transmit pitch information effectively; it is unclear how those implanted early perform on contextual tones. The general aim of this thesis was therefore to better understand the acquisition of contextual tones by both typically developing children and those with hearing impairment using acoustic, rather than perceptual measures. ; This thesis consisted of seven studies. Firstly, we examined how contextua ltones are realized in children's language input, i.e., infant-directed speech (IDS) and clear speech, where slower, hyperarticulated speech (as directed to children or possibly hearing impaired populations) might destroy the context for appropriate realization of contextual tones, thus potentially explaining the later acquisition of these tonal processes (Studies 1 & 2). However, our findings showed that the key features of contextual tones are well realized in both registers, suggesting that later acquisition is not due to the input. Next, we examined children's contextual tone productions in novel (rather than known) items, exploring when their knowledge of contextual tones becomes productive (Studies 3, 4 & 5). The results showed that (1) normal hearing 3-year-olds have already acquired productive knowledge of contextual tones, correctly producing tonal variations across contexts, though adult-like acoustic implementation is not fully mastered until age 5; (2) children with CIs face challenges in producing correct contextual tones, but early implantation (before age 2) facilitates lexical and contextual tonal acquisition. Finally, we tested children's perception of lexical tones and tone sandhi in novel compounds using a mispronunciation/eyetracking task (Studies 6 & 7). The results showed that, (1) all normal hearing participants could detect lexical tone mispronunciations, but none were sensitive to the novel compound tone sandhi mispronunciations; and (2) even detecting lexical tone mispronunciations was a challenge for the children with CIs. ; Taken together, the findings of this thesis suggest that contextual tones are not later acquired by normal hearing children, and acquiring typical contextual tones is possible for children with hearing impairment as long as they receive CIs early. ; Mode of access: World wide web ; 1 online resource (xii, 437 pages) diagrams, graphs, tables Keyword: Children -- Language; Chinese language -- Tone; cochlear implants; language acquisition; Mandarin Chinese; phonetics; Phonological awareness in children; tones URL: http://hdl.handle.net/1959.14/1278390 BASE Hide details 7 Children's gradual acquisition of singular and plural Davies, Benjamin Luke. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2018 BASE Show details 8 The systematic elements underlying the expression of futurity in English: an ESL perspective O'Byrne, Judith Anne. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2017 BASE Show details 9 The role of bilingual dictionaries in second language learning: a case study of Saudi students in Australia Almoayidi, Khedir Attaf. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2016 BASE Show details 10 Fluent or non-fluent? that is the question: Uncovering the cognition of L2 learners whose L2 Academic fluency exceeds their L2 everyday fluency Hashem, Rabab Ahmed. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2016 BASE Show details 11 Exploring the perception of phonemic vowel length contrasts: evidence from infants and adults Chen, Hui. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2016 BASE Show details 12 Learning morphophonological alternations across languages and populations Tomas, Ekaterina. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 13 The acquisition of constraints in child Mandarin An, Shasha. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 14 Speaking anxiety among Saudi ESL learners studying in Australia Al Yami, Abeer. - : Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 15 Grammatical knowledge in children with autism Khetrapal, Neha. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 16 Dynamics of bilingual early childhood education: parental attitudes and institutional realisation Benz, Victoria. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 17 The interpretation of logical connectors by monolingual and bilingual children Geçkin, Vasfiye. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 18 Early child bilingualism: cross-linguistic influence in the simultaneous acquisition of German and English Genske, Katharina. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2014 BASE Show details 19 The children's acquisition of shenme in Mandarin Chinese Liao, Min. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2014 BASE Show details 20 The temporal (re-)construal of experience: how native speakers of English and advanced Chinese learners select and interpret simple past/present tenses Xu, Jiahuan. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2013 BASE Show details Page: 1 2
