Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing research on representations of phonetic and phonological information has focused on segmental features such as phonemes. |
| Approach: | They propose to analyze the tone encoding capabilities of self-supervised Spoken Language Models, using Mandarin and Vietnamese as case studies. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models encode lexical tone even when trained on non-tonal languages. |
