Intelligibility of whispered Mandarin

[Aniruddh Patel <apatel@xxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

Does any one know of quantitative studies comparing
the intelligibility of spoken vs. whispered sentences in Mandarin?

There are good studies of tone identification in whispered
vs. spoken Mandarin monosyllables, but I'm looking for studies
of sentence comprehension, not tone identification of isolated words.

Thanks,
Ani Patel
