Speech melody as articulatorily implemented communicative functions (2005, result): “As found in (Xu et al., 2003), the effect of voiceless consonants such as stops and fricatives is to introduce rather local perturbations without changing the carryover or anticipatory tonal variations reported in previous studies such as Xu (1997, 1999).”
Linguistic pitch analysis using functional principal component mixed effect models (2010, background): “Some studies have included analysis of the speech contour (Xu, 1999; Xu and Xu, 2003) but have required extensive assumptions relating to the data, such as invariant syllable structure, and often the reading of nonsense words to have a complete experimental design for the purpose of averaging.”
