Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Discriminant analysis showed that most individual speakers of a tone language (Thai or Yoruba) can be easily distinguished from speaker of a nontone language (English) on the basis of their distinctive patterns of perceptual saliency for these five dimensions.
