Abstract
This paper studies the acoustic characteristics of Tone 3 produced by prelingually deaf adults and finds that the deaf females and males apply different strategies to realize this dipping-rising tone: for deaf females, they tend to use creaky voice in producing this tone; for deaf males, they adopt a longer duration and a slower turning to distinguish T3 from other tones in Standard Chinese. Moreover, results of this study support the viewpoint that the prelingually deaf adults could benefit from their longer experience of cochlear implant to improve their capability of tone's production.
