Masking of tone by tone as a function of duration

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1975
Consideration of a proposed electrical model of monaural detection leads to the suggestion that subjects listening to long-duration signals may respond on the basis of amplitude peaks. To eliminate such peaks, a 500-Hz tone was employed as both masker and signal.

The contagious leader: impact of the leader's mood on the mood of group members, group affective tone, and group processes.

Journal of Applied Psychology, 2005
The present study examined the effects of leaders' mood on (a) the mood of individual group members, (b) the affective tone of groups, and (c) 3 group processes: coordination, effort expenditure, and task strategy. On the basis of a mood contagion model,

Do Sophisticated Investors Interpret Earnings Conference Call Tone Differently than Investors at Large? Evidence from Short Sales

, 2015
Recent research finds that investors, broadly defined, react to the linguistic tone of quarterly earnings conference calls; there is a positive relation between firms' stock returns and call tone (a measure of “sentiment” related word tabulations ...

Tone raising and tone lowering in Bafut

Journal of African Languages and Linguistics, 2011
While a lot has been said about H tone lowering after a L tone in Bafut, L tone raising before a non-L tone remains a less studied phenomenon. 2 This paper seeks to describe these two tone phenomena in the language, which result from two phonologically contrastive pitch levels.

Japanese Tone Structure

, 1988
"Japanese Tone Structure" provides a thorough, phonetically grounded description of accent and intonation in Tokyo Japanese and uses it to develop an explicit account of surface phonological representation.

The temporal course of simultaneous tone-on-tone masking

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985
Threshold for a 20-ms, 1-kHz signal was measured as a function of its temporal position within a longer duration gated masker; masker frequencies were below, at, and above 1 kHz. For a masker frequency above the signal frequency, there is a sizable temporal effect: As the onset of the signal is delayed, threshold decreases rapidly but then increases ...

Emphasising sound and meaning: pitch gestures enhance Mandarin lexical tone acquisition

, 2015
Lexical tones – pitches differentiating between word meanings in tonal languages – are particularly difficult for atonal language speakers to learn. To test the hypotheses of embodied cognition and spoken word recognition, we examined whether – and how –

Creating cinematic wide gamut HDR-video for the evaluation of tone mapping operators and HDR-displays

Electronic imaging, 2014
High quality video sequences are required for the evaluation of tone mapping operators and high dynamic range (HDR) displays. We provide scenic and documentary scenes with a dynamic range of up to 18 stops.

Tone and intonation

2015
The objective of this study is to identify the basic components of pitch that can be isolated from tone and attributed to intonation, and establish them as the elements that must be accounted for in the transcription of an oral corpus in order to make it useful for typological studies of intonation.
