  • The Pitch Levels of Female Speech in Two Chinese Villages
    Deutsch et al.: JASA Express Letters ͓DOI: 10.1121/1.3113892͔ Published Online 14 April 2009 The pitch levels of female speech in two Chinese villages Diana Deutscha) Department of Psychology, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093 [email protected] Jinghong Le School of Psychology and Cognitive Science, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200062, China [email protected] Jing Shen and Trevor Henthorn Department of Psychology, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093 [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The pitch levels of female speech in two villages situated in a relatively remote area of China were compared. The dialects spoken in the two villages are similar to Standard Mandarin, and all subjects had learned to read and speak Standard Mandarin at school. Subjects read out a passage of roughly 3.25 min in Standard Mandarin, and pitch values were obtained at 5-ms intervals. The overall pitch levels in the two villages differed signifi- cantly, supporting the conjecture that pitch levels of speech are influenced by a mental representation acquired through long-term exposure to the speech of others. © 2009 Acoustical Society of America PACS numbers: 43.71.Bp, 43.71.Es, 43.71.An [JH] Date Received: January 24, 2009 Date Accepted: March 12, 2009 1. Introduction While a substantial literature exists concerning the features of particular languages and dialects, overall pitch level as a feature has so far received little attention. This is due in part to the assumption frequently made that the pitch level of speech is physiologically determined and that it serves as a reflection of body size (Kunzel, 1989; Van Dommelen and Moxness, 1995).

  • China and Its “Long March” Toward a Modern Banking System
    China and Its “Long March” Toward a Modern Banking System Ting Zhong (on Prof. Joseph Norton’s behalf) I. Introduction China, the ancient oriental empire, opened its door to the outside world in the first half of the nineteenth century. Modern banking was introduced at that time to satisfy the financial needs of increasing trade business between China and the western world. So till now China has had long experience with the banking system. But influenced by several severe social transitions in the past two centuries, China’s modern banking system experienced different development directions and is now still at a premature stage. For the recent 25 years, recognizing the need to merge into the global system and to sustain its domestic development, China has conducted comprehensive reforms in its banking sector to adopt a modern banking system consistent with evolving and heightening international prudential, operational, and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing standards, along with the liberalization and openness aims engendered by the move toward a robust “socialist market economy” on a sustainable basis and the embrace of the WTO requirements. The reforms already conducted in the banking sector are extensive in scope and have received impressive achievements. But China still faces numerous challenges in accomplishing its goal. Besides, as an emerging economic power with the inevitable evolution of the Chinese Yuan into a major international currency but at the same time still being a developing country facing a lot of disparities and development needs, China encounters a more complex situation to balance the conflicting functions of its banking sector when designing the reform schemes.
