Special Issue on Processing Lexical Tones in Natural Speech 
International Journal of Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language
Processing (IJCLCLP)

This special issue aims to address questions about how lexical tones are
processed by humans and machines in the context of natural, continuous speech.
Lexical tones in tone languages have been widely investigated in the fields of
linguistics, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, and language
acquisition by applying a wide range of theoretical, empirical, and
experimental approaches. As the phonetic representation of lexical tones which
are produced in connected speech can differ considerably from that of lexical
tones which are produced in isolation, research interests constantly grow in
how lexical tones are produced, perceived, and processed in realistic speech
data. This special issue aims to bring together methodologies from different
research disciplines to extend our understanding of lexical tones used in real
speaking situations. We welcome submissions addressing the following issues.

-Modeling lexical tones: Can lexical tones which are produced in natural
speech be more accurately described and modeled by quantitative/gradient
measures or by categorical systems? Is a hybrid approach possible? In what way
can lexical tones be represented and analyzed by utilizing spoken corpora?
-Human language processing: What role do lexical tones play in the mental
lexicon? How are lexical tones produced and perceived by native and non-native
language users?
-Language acquisition: How are lexical tones acquired by typical developing
children, hearing-impaired children, and second language learners? Are the
phonological development patterns different from each other?
-Speech technology: What kind of information about lexical tones can be
integrated into ASR and synthesis systems to improve system performances?
-Other research results related to lexical tones in natural speech are also
welcome to contribute to this special issue.

Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2013 
Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2013 
Final paper due: August 31, 2013 
Tentative publication date: December, 2013 

All submitted papers should present original research work, which has not been
published elsewhere. Submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least
two independent reviewers. For detailed submission guidelines, please visit
the website of the International Journal of Computational Linguistics and
Chinese Language Processing at http://www.aclclp.org.tw/journal/submit.php.
Please also feel free to contact the Guest Editor of this special issue, Dr.
