Material for Cantonese speech audiometry constructed by appropriate phonetic principles.
Cantonese is the common Chinese dialect spoken by the citizens in Hong Kong. It is difficult to construct a material for speech audiometry in the Chinese language in view of 3 facts: (1) all words are monosyllabic, (2) the language is tonal and (3) there are many homophones. Since well-documented Cantonese speech audiometry is not available, an attempt is made in this pilot study to construct short word lists which are equal in phonemic distribution.
