Abstract
This study aims to reconstruct the border between tones, in Nanjing Dialect, converging towards similar contours due to sound change, using phonetic techniques for data exploration. The results of the auditory survey reveal a categorical perception in Nanjing Dialect, as often attested in tonal languages. The acoustic statistics of this experiment contribute to a more comprehensive image of tones represented by tone letters.
