Speech melody as articulatorily implemented communicative functions (2005, background): “Recent typological studies have found a close relation between the occurrence of dynamic tones and average vowel length (hence syllable length) in a language (Gordon, 1999; Zhang, 2001).”
A directional asymmetry in Chinese tone sandhi systems (2007, background): “All of these patterns violate known markedness generalizations about contour tones (Gordon (1999), Zhang (2002)): the leftdominant tone extension and right-dominant no-sandhi pattern in (36a) forces a nonfinal contour tone to flatten when it is prominent but allows it surface when it is not; the…”
Learning Phonology With Substantive Bias: An Experimental and Computational Study of Velar Palatalization (2006, unknown): “…world (Beckman , 1999; Flemming, 2002; Gilkerson, to appear; Kawasaki-Fukumori, 1992; Kochetov, 2002; Ohala, 1992; Padgett, 2004; Steriade, 2001ab; Zhang, 2001), the characteristic changes that sounds undergo in particular phonological contexts (Cho & McQueen, in preparation; Côté 2000, 2004;…”
Production and perception of a sound change in progress: Tone merging in Hong Kong Cantonese (2013, background): “Tone type frequency tends to negatively correlate with the phonetic difficulty of producing different tones (e.g., Zhang, 2001).”
