Taken together, Chapters 3 to 8 demonstrate segmental changes, rhythmic alignment, beat assignment, and linguistic tonal changes in the mapping between language and music. From the perspective of segment and rhythm, the language-to-music mapping shows that the perception grammar plays an important role. Tonal changes in the music-to-language mapping also support that there is an independent perception grammar.
9.2 Further issue
In Chapters 7 and 8, I have examined how disyllabic musical pitches are transformed into linguistic tones. Each syllable is associated with one musical beat with equal musical prominence. This study has also observed the musical pitch to linguistic tone mapping in multisyllabic phrases and sentences, where syllables are mapped to accented (>) or unaccented musical beats as exemplified in (229).
(229) ‘His name is Jesus’
> (musical prominence)
ta5 ming7 jiao6 ye5-su3 (musical pitch)
ta55 ming53 jiao53 ye55 su55 (linguistic tone)

In (229), the linguistic final output, ta55, jiao53, and ye55-su55 are terms that can be associated by the children, whereas, ming53 is an unassociated term. Since ming53 is the unassociated term, its linguistic tonal output is not influenced by lexicon association. However, why is ming7 perceived as ming53 instead of ming55, which is faithful to the singing output? It is observed that some of the children perceive the accented (>) singing output as the linguistic tone, 53. Future studies can examine how the pitches of the accented musical beats are perceived into linguistic tones.
