“…This equation is done in the same way with the logarithmic scale used in making stimuli. The equation proposed by Dilley (2010) and Kim (2015) is shown below. 4Log (f0 intervals)=log (V1 / V2) for HL vs. LH, HH vs. HL, HH vs. LH For the statistical analysis, a mixed-effect linear regression model, using the lmer function in the lme4 package (Bates et al, 2015) in R (version 3.2.2.…”

“…Previous studies on North Kyungsang Korean have traditionally demonstrated that high and low tones are associated with syllables, reflecting a phonologically approached theory (Chung, 1991;Jun et al, 2006;Kenstowicz & Sohn, 1997;Kim, 1976;Kim, 1988;Kim, 1997). Recently, Kim (2012Kim ( , 2015Kim ( , 2018 has researched the lexical pitch accent in North Kyungsang Korean using an imitation task with the data of children and adults. Kim (2012) investigated whether the adult and child speakers in the North Kyungsang and South Cholla regions show a categorical production by measuring the differences of f0 values at the midpoints of the first and second syllables.…”

The present study examines whether pitch range variation in North Kyunsang Korean shows a categorical or continuous function. Specifically, the study is focused on the data imitated by adults and children in the North Kyungsang region. To investigate pitch range variation, the log-produced f0 intervals were measured and statistically analyzed. The results of the study are as follows. First, both the adults' and children's imitations were more categorical than continuous, especially for the HL-LH patterns. For the other pitch accent patterns, such as HH-HL and HH-LH, the curves were continuous or flat for most of the speakers. Second, the children's imitations were poorer than those of the adults. That is, the children's imitative responses were shown as more continuous or flat curves than categorical. For the children, the HL-LH pattern showed a categorical function at the midpoint of the curves, though the shifts were not as distinctive as the adults' data. This implies that the imitative responses of children follow the perceptual and productive trace of adults' speech behavior.
