Abstract:
Mastering Japanese pitch accent is crucial for second language (L2) learners to effectively communicate with native speakers. Pitch accent in Japanese is phonemic, e.g., /kami/ means ‘god’ with a high-low (HL) pitch pattern, while it means ‘hair’ with a LH pitch pattern. This distinction is known to be difficult for native English speakers to acquire. Previous research has shown that explicit training of Japanese pitch accent can significantly improve perception and production for L2 learners (Hirano-Cook, 2011), and that audio-visual training boosts L2 phonemic distinctions compared to audio-only training (Motohashi-Saigo & Hardison, 2009). Pitch accent is realized in changes of fundamental frequencies, which are a prosodic dimension of speech. Given that right-hemisphere language homologues process prosody (Zatorre & Samson, 1991), we hypothesized that contra-lateral left-hand tracing of pitch patterns would assist learning (Schlaug et al., 2009). The present study investigates the efficacy of ...
