Zhejiang Ia_Ia tones

Below is a list of Zhejiang dialect sites with acoustic data from 109 speakers on disyllabic words all with tones on both constituent morphemes which are reflexes of the Middle Chinese yinping (Ia) tone.

Left-click on the 'Play/Pause buttons to listen (will not work with Internet Explorer; sorry: should work with Chrome and Firefox. The figures show individual values (F0 as function of duration) with dotted lines. They can be expanded for inspection by left-clicking once on them. Solid red lines indicate means. Most figures also have a list of the words with a provisional phonemic representation of the segmentals. A second click will contract the figure.

The left column contains information on informant's age, date of recording and investigator (ZXN = Prof. ZHU Xiaonong, WB = Prof. William BALLARD, PR = Phil ROSE). Capital letters indicate the county (县), and if no additional location is given this refers to the county town/city. Additional information in lower-case indicates a site other than the county town.
