The book series discusses these issues from the perspectives of science (evidence-based approach) and technology. The studies in the book series use the methods from the fields of linguistics(suchascorpuslinguisticsandcomputationallinguistics),psychological and behavioural sciences (such as experimental design and statistical analyses), informational technology (such as information retrieval and natural language processing) and brain sciences (such as neuroimaging and neurolinguistics). The book series generally covers three main interdisciplinary themes: (1) fundamental investigation ofChinese as afirst orsecond language acquisition, (2) development in Chinese language learning technology, and (3) applied research on Chinese language education. More specifically, the book series involves seven research topics: – language transfer mechanism in Chinese as a second language – factors of Chinese as a second language acquisition in childhood – cultural influence on Chinese acquisition – information technology, corpus – teaching material design – teaching strategies and teacher training – learning models – assessment methods Please contact Melody Zhang (e-mail: [email protected]) for submitting book proposals for this series.

Theideaofthisbookoriginatedfromthediscussionsinthecontextofthebook seriesChineseLanguageLearningSciences,anambitiousSpringerprojectinitiated attheNationalTaiwanNormalUniversity(NTNU).Whenthebookserieswasfirst launched, one of the editors of this volume (PL) was on sabbatical leave visiting NTNUandhadachancetofrequentlydiscusscommoninterestswiththeothertwo editors (FT and HL) with regard tothe topics of speech perception in children and adults, in native and non-native languages, and in typical and atypical language development. We felt that a book that can cover these grounds, with special ref- erencetolexicaltoneperceptioninChinese,wouldsignificantlyhelpresearchers,in particular, young scholars, and junior faculty members at institutions both in Asia and other parts of the world to become familiar with the field, and to carry out further exciting work on the basis of the extant literature. Thus, we have invited leading scholars from linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and com- municationdisorderstocontributetothisvolume.Wespecificallyhighlightedfour majordomainsofwork,includingbasiccognitiveprocesses,neuralrepresentations, domain-general transfer and cross-modal integration, and development of speech from infancy to adulthood. Although the domains are not meant to be exhaustive of thelarge literature, we hope that this book represents some ofthe most exciting ongoing work and serves its purpose as both an overview of major research questions and a roadmap for future research. We are grateful to the book series editor Prof. Yao-Ting Sung at NTNU for his constantencouragementandsupport,whichmakesthisvolumepossibleinthefirst place. We would also like to thank Lawrence Liu, Lay Peng Ang, and Melody Zhang at Springer for their support and patience during the editing of this book. v vi Preface We thank the Institute for Research Excellence in Learning Sciences, NTNU, for their support. We also thank reviewers, Yang Zhang (University of Minnesota), Linjun Zhang (Beijing Language and Culture University), and Christina Zhao (University of Washington), for providing their suggestions that helped improve this book. Finally, the book would not have been possible without the hard work and strong commitment from the many contributing authors, who have gone throughtheirmanuscriptsmanytimestoensurereadabilityandaccuracy.Needless tosay,theremaystillbeerrorsorareasforimprovement,andwewelcomereaders from the community to provide critical comments and evaluation.
