Abstract

Crossmodal correspondences refer to when specific domains of features in different sensory modalities are mapped. We investigated how vowels and lexical tones drive sound-shape (rounded or angular) and sound-size (large or small) mappings among native Mandarin Chinese speakers. We used three vowels (/i/, /u/, and /a/), and each vowel was articulated in four lexical tones. In the sound-shape matching, the tendency to match the rounded shape was decreased in the following order: /u/, /i/, and /a/. Tone 2 was more likely to be matched to the rounded pattern, whereas Tone 4 was more likely to be matched to the angular pattern. In the sound-size matching, /a/ was matched to the larger object more than /u/ and /i/, and Tone 2 and Tone 4 correspond to the large-small contrast. The results demonstrated that both vowels and tones play prominent roles in crossmodal correspondences, and sound-shape and sound-size mappings are heterogeneous phenomena.

汉语词汇声调在音形和音大小对应中的作用。
跨模态对应是指不同感觉模态的特定特征域被映射。我们调查了元音和词汇音调是如何驱动以普通话为母语的人的音型(圆的或角的)和声音大小(大的或小的)映射的。我们用了三个元音(/i/, /u/和/a/),每个元音都用四个词汇语调发音。在音形匹配中,对圆形形状的匹配倾向依次递减:/u/、/i/、/a/。色调2更可能与圆形图案相匹配,而色调4更可能与棱角图案相匹配。在声音大小匹配中,/a/对应的是比/u/和/i/更大的物体,Tone 2和Tone 4对应的是大小对比。结果表明,元音和声调在跨模态对应中都起着重要作用,音形和音大小映射是异质现象。

期刊介绍: Multisensory Research is an interdisciplinary archival journal covering all aspects of multisensory processing including the control of action, cognition and attention. Research using any approach to increase our understanding of multisensory perceptual, behavioural, neural and computational mechanisms is encouraged. Empirical, neurophysiological, psychophysical, brain imaging, clinical, developmental, mathematical and computational analyses are welcome. Research will also be considered covering multisensory applications such as sensory substitution, crossmodal methods for delivering sensory information or multisensory approaches to robotics and engineering. Short communications and technical notes that draw attention to new developments will be included, as will reviews and commentaries on current issues. Special issues dealing with specific topics will be announced from time to time. Multisensory Research is a continuation of Seeing and Perceiving, and of Spatial Vision.
