MANDARIN TONES IN RELATION TO SENTENCE INTONATION AND GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE

摘要


This paper investigates the influence of sentence intonation and grammatical structure on the four Mandarin tones. Five speakers recorded a reading text which allowed test words to occur in six sentence environments. It is found that sentence intonation and grammatical function definitely have some influence on tone contours, although the four tones maintain their basic shapes. Therefore, in order to provide low level phonetic rules for the realization of the tone contours for producing correct (normal) sounding speech, grammatical information is definitely needed.
