The present study examines acoustic variations of tones in Mandarin under the influence of different tonal contexts. In particular, variations in the four Mandarin tones due to anticipatory and carry-over effects are analyzed by examining the time course of /., contours of bi-tonal sequences. Using balanced nonsense sequences produced in different carriers with balanced tonal structures, this study establishes a baseline for local contextual tonal variation in Mandarin. It is found that anticipatory and carry-over tonal influences differ both in magnitude and in nature. Carry-over effects are mostly assimilatory: the starting /., of a tone is assimilated to the offset value of a previous tone. Anticipatory effects, on the other hand, are mostly dissimilatory: a low onset value of a tone raises the maximum /., value of a preceding tone. While the magnitude of the carry-over effect is large, anticipatory effects are relatively small.
