Abstract:

The dissertation investigates the role of lexical tone in spoken word
recognition and production. In particular, it focuses on three groups
of speakers: native speakers of Standard Chinese, bi-dialectal
speakers of Standard Chinese and Xi’an Mandarin, and bilingual
speakers of Standard Chinese and English. Through a series of
experiments employing the eye-tracking visual world paradigm and the
picture-word interference paradigm, four key issues were explored: the
role of lexical tone in Mandarin spoken word recognition; tonal
interference in bi-dialectal spoken word recognition; the activation
of lexical tone in bilingual spoken word production; and the influence
of lexical tone on the bilingual mental lexicon. The findings of this
dissertation not only showed how Mandarin listeners utilize tonal
information during tone word recognition but also revealed dynamic
tonal interaction between language systems. Overall, this dissertation
contributes to a deeper understanding of lexical access by
highlighting the significant role of lexical tone in both native and
bilingual contexts, shedding light on the intricate processes involved
in spoken word recognition and production across languages.
