We present two experiments: 1. Experiment A: Compare mean F₀ of H tones following sonorant vs. voiced-obstruent onsets. 2. Experiment B: Compare mean F₀ of H vs. L tones following individual voiced obstruents (b, d, j, g, v, z). --- Table of Contents 1. Project Overview 2. Data Description 3. Experiment A 1.

License --- Project Overview We examine how the phonetic context of a verb stem onset ( C1.class or individual C1 ) affects the realized pitch of H and L tones in CiTonga: - Experiment A: Do H‐tone verbs exhibit different mean F₀ when the first consonant is a sonorant vs. a voiced obstruent? - Experiment B: For voiced‐obstruent onsets (b, d, j, g, v, z), is there a difference in mean F₀ between H‐tone and L‐tone verbs? --- Data Description File: citonga.csv Columns of interest: - Tone : target tone of the verb stem ( \"H\" or \"L\" ) - C1 , C2 : first and second consonants - C1.class : phonetic class of the first consonant ( \"sonorants\" or \"voiced obstruents\" ) - meanf0 : mean fundamental fre","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/hoangsonww","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/hoangsonww/Malawian-CiTonga-Tone-Production/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
