Inspired by something I read from Diana Deutsch, I'd like to see if the same word, articulated by African tone language speakers but separated by a period of time (say two weeks), will have the same F0 profile.
If you are a speaker of an African tone language, and is willing to provide some recordings for me, please write to me at [email protected]. I shall share with you my findings for some other languages too as soon as I am done with the experiment. Forgive me for not being able to provide more details at the moment since that would spoil the game.
Many thanks in advance.
