| description | The role of the cerebellum in phonetic processing has been discovered and widely discussed for decades. However, with the idea that the cerebral representation of phonetic processing is different in tonal language and non-tonal language speakers, whether the cerebellar representation of phonetic processing differs based on language background remains unknown. In the present study, we conducted an activation likelihood estimation (ALE) analysis among 33 functional neuroimaging studies involving 541 healthy adults (213 tonal language speakers and 328 non-tonal language speakers). The aim was to explore the cerebellar representation of phonetic perception and phonetic production in these two language backgrounds. Our results demonstrated the involvement of cerebellum left Crus I, right Crus II, lobules VI, and VIIb in phonetic perception among tonal language speakers, whereas only one focal cluster (right Crus I and Crus II) was demonstrated in non-tonal language speakers. Conjunction analysis revealed overlapping regions located in the right Crus II both in tonal and non-tonal language speakers during phonetic perception. During phonetic production, no significant cluster was detected among tonal language speakers, whereas one focal cluster (within right lobule VI) was detected in non-tonal language speakers. These results highlight the specific cerebellar representation of phonetic processing in tonal and non-tonal languages. Overall, this ALE analysis provides a profound view of the neural mechanism of phonetic processing. |
