"To understand speech processing is one of the ultimate goals of investigations of sound processing\r\nin the auditory cortex. Chinese tones are the perfect object for this kind of investigation\r\nbecause they are very short but still contain complex linguistic information. In tonal languages\r\nsuch as Mandarin Chinese, pitch contours discriminate lexical meaning at a systematic level,\r\nwhich is not the case in non-tonal languages such as German. It is still unclear how such differences\r\nin phonological systems are reflected at the cortical level. Using magnetoencephalography\r\nI investigated the sustained field (SF) evoked in native Chinese and native German speakers.\r\nNatural speech stimuli evoked significantly larger SF for the Chinese than for the German\r\ngroup, whereas for a musical tone there was no significant difference between both group. The\r\nSF for Chinese subjects were larger when evoked by meaningful syllables as compared to meaningless\r\nones, but there was no significant difference in the SF evoked when vowels were part\r\nof the Chinese phonological system or not. These findings suggest that the SF generated in\r\nthe auditory cortex represents a relevant neurophysiological parameter for the assessment of\r\nlanguage-related processes."^^ .
