Abstract:
Objective To develop Tibetan nasalance test materials,and to determine the normal range of na-salance in Tibetan-speaking children,and to investigate the characteristics of nasalance in Tibetan schoolchildren in different Chinese and Tibetan corpora.Methods Three corpora,including three Chinese test sentences,three Ti-betan test materials,and three Tibetan rhymes,were selected to test the nasalance of 50 children(7～12 years old)in the context of Tibetan as their mother tongue in the Tibetan region during pronunciation.Results Differences in nasalance between Chinese and Tibetan nasal sentences were statistically significant(P＜0.01)and lower in Tibetan than in Chinese among Tibetan schoolchildren.The mean nasalance of Tibetan rhymes showed/i/＞/u/＞/a/.Na-sal sentences of Tibetan corpus,oral sentences,oral-nasal sentences and Tibetan rhyming/i/had statistically signif-icant differences in nasalance between genders(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion When assessing the nasalance of Tibetan schoolchildren with Tibetan,a special dialect of Tibetan,as their mother tongue and main language of com-munication in Tibet,the choice of corpus is one of the important factors influencing the nasalance in addition to age and gender,and the application of the Tibetan corpus provides important reference information for the phonological assessment of Tibetan children with nasal resonance disorders.
