| Abstract | Abstract Modern Standard Chinese (MSC) dichotic listening tests in real speech were performed on 37 Chinese subjects and 31 French control subjects. Consonant words (MSC words with the same tone and contrasting only in the initial consonant), tone words (MSC words differing only in tone) and hums (hummed MSC tones without segmental information) were used. The results from the French control subjects suggest left hemisphere processing for consonant words, right hemisphere processing for tones, and bilateral processing for hums. In the group of Chinese subjects, no ear preference was obtained in either of the three types of stimuli presented. Thus, it can be suggested that, in subjects speaking a tone language such as Chinese, linguistic signals can be processed bilaterally, whereas in non-tone languages such bilateral representation is mainly observed in vowel perception. |
