Perceptual and Linguistic Tolerance in Intonation

Collier, Rene

International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 13, 4, 293-308, Nov 75

Two experiments are reported which explore (1) into what categories do native listeners divide the perceived pitch contours of their language; (2) into what perceptual units can these overall contour structures be further broken down; and (3) what is the range of tolerance for each unit?
