Constructing the Mandarin Phonological Network: Novel Syllable Inventory Used to Identify Schematic Segmentation

Figure 4

Tensor product smooth for the interaction between word-level clustering coefficient according to the tonal complex-vowel segmented PSN (CC.C_V_C_T) and the number of units (segments and/or tone) that differed between auditory stimuli and participant-produced phonological neighbors (Edit). Reaction times, as noted in the red contour lines, blend from cool (shorter latencies) to warm colors (longer latencies).
