摘要：With an increasing interest in discovering the nature of lexical tone perception, many studies have examined various dimensions of acoustic cues (e.g. F0 onset, F0 direction, duration, turning point of pitch contour, etc.) for tone perception both cross- linguistically and cross-dialectally (Hallé et al., 2004; Wu, 2005). However, most of these studies only focus on particular tones instead of the whole tone system of that language. Thus, this preliminary study intends to unfold how well the natives of tonal language (Mandarin) can discriminate tones within another tonal system (Chongqing dialect), which the future research into perceptual cues for tone perception could base upon.
