Book excerpt: The 6-Tone Concept is known also as The Theory of the Hexatave. It is a theory discovered by Mr. Edward P.H. Woo, Director of the Centre for Research in Linguistic Studies, City University of Macau. In this book, we explain why the pronunciation of a dialect as complicated as Cantonese in the Chinese language, and the English language can be successfully learnt in 7 days. Based on a correct understanding of Initials, Finals, and Tones, 7 days is enough for language students to pronounce English as well as Chinese words accurately. About the Author Mr. Woo, the author of the book “Cantonese for English Speakers”, the Director of AIOU Center of Linguistic (Tonal) Studies. Mr. Edward P.H. Woo received his training and practiced as a solicitor in Hong Kong for some 30 years before he retired in 1990s.Brought up in a family upholding traditional Chinese culture and values, and driven by a pioneering spirit, Mr. Woo had dedicated himself to establishing numerous ventures in education, higher intellectual pursuits and finance.

Book Synopsis Comprehensive Articulatory Phonetics by : T. L. Cleghorn
Download or read book Comprehensive Articulatory Phonetics written by T. L. Cleghorn and published by N M Rugg. This book was released on 2011-08-06 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Articulatory Phonetics teaches how to recognize, record, and reproduce the sounds of any language.Phonetics is the study of sounds. Specifically, it is the study of human speech sounds. A person who only speaks one language may not realize that there are hundreds of different consonants and vowels spoken by humans in different parts of the world. This book will introduce the reader to almost every sound spoken by man.Since the English alphabet is inadequate to represent every speech sound known to man, the reader will be taught the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This is a special alphabet containing numerous symbols that represent sounds for all languages. Charts are included in the back of this book that list many of the symbols used in the IPA. Some IPA symbols will look quite familiar, but others are from foreign languages or were invented specially for the IPA. Learning these symbols and their corresponding sounds is the foundation to accurately learning the sound system of a language.The reader should also be aware of the fact that not all linguists follow the IPA conventions. Though this book generally follows the standard IPA, alternative symbols and notations will be explained throughout the text.This book is intended for speakers of American English because many of the sounds are compared to the English language. Speakers of other dialects or languages may need to adjust their pronunciation accordingly.Table of Contents:Lesson 1: Introduction to SoundsLesson 2: Fricatives and VoicingLesson 3: Pitch VariationsLesson 4: Stops and Voice Onset TimeLesson 5: Facial DiagramsLesson 6: Progressive Pitch ControlLesson 7: Aspiration and Glottal StopsLesson 8: Advanced IntonationLesson 9: AffricatesLesson 10: Introduction to VowelsLesson 11: Characteristics of SyllablesLesson 12: Vowel GlidesLesson 13: Fronting, Retroflexion, and SibilantsLesson 14: Back VowelsLesson 15: NasalsLesson 16: Front VowelsLesson 17: LateralsLesson 18: Open Vowels and LengthLesson 19: Flaps and TrillsLesson 20: Central Vowels and ApproximantsLesson 21: Alveopalatal StopsLesson 22: Vowel and Glide ClustersLesson 23: Palatal and Uvular ConsonantsLesson 24: Nasalized VowelsLesson 25: Double Articulations and PrenasalizationLesson 26: Front Rounded and Back Unrounded VowelsLesson 27: Transition and ReleaseLesson 28: States of the GlottisLesson 29: ImplosivesLesson 30: Breathy Consonants and Consonant ClustersLesson 31: EjectivesLesson 32: Tongue Root PlacementLesson 33: Secondary ArticulationsLesson 34: Fortis and Lenis ArticulationLesson 35: ClicksLesson 36: Speech StylesAppendix

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pitch variations are used in different languages in a variety of communicative ways, from cueing lexical item identity to conveying meaning through phrasing and accentuation. Previously, linguistic theories of intonation and tone which have sought a unifying account for tonal phenomena have not defined a clear and systematic relation between phonological representations and phonetic output in terms of acoustically observable fundamental frequency (FO) variations. This is problematic, because meaningful pitch patterns cannot be related to underlying phonological primitives in any clear way, so that it is difficult to empirically verify or falsify the theory. This thesis addresses this problem by proposing a phonological description of intonation and tone for which there is a clear and systematic relationship between observed FO variations and underlying phonological primitives. The theory is based on a construct called the tone interval, which represents an abstraction of a ratio of two fundamental frequencies. A syntagmatic tone interval relates two sequentially-ordered tones, while a paradigmatic tone interval relates a tone and a speaker-specific referent level. Tone intervals define one of three relations: a tone may be higher, lower, or the same level as its referent. Additional language-specific categories may be formed which restrict the pitch distance between a tone and its referent. Tones in syntagmatic tone intervals are assumed to be arranged at the phrasal level with respect to a metrical grid, which represents the relative prominence and timing of syllables. This permits interactions between nonsequential tones occupying metrically prominent syllables, accounting for cross-linguistic observations involving control of relative height relations on nonadjacent syllables. Six experiments tested the predictions of tone interval theory and other phonological theories for English. Experiments 1 and 3 involved discrimination of pairs of stimuli in which the timing of an FO extremum had been varied along a continuum with respect to segments, while Experiments 2 and 4 involved imitation of these stimuli. Experiments 5 and 6 involved imitating stimuli in which absolute FO level had been varied along a continuum. Consistent with the tone interval theory, these results demonstrate the importance of relative pitch level for phonological representations. In particular, discrimination maxima and discreteness in production data were observed for positions in stimulus series in which either (i) the timing of an FO extremum was varied across a vowel onset, or (ii) the FO level of one syllable switched from higher than another syllable to lower than that syllable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With fewer than 5000 native speakers remaining, the Mexican indigenous language of Coatzospan Mixtec (CM) faces potential extinction in coming generations. Spoken only in the remote northern mountains of the Mexican state of Oaxaca in San Juan Coatzospan, the language has received relatively little linguistic documentation, though some fundamental work has been conducted by Pike and Small (1974) and Gerfen (1999). The primary goal of this project is to continue the process of describing this endangered language in the hope of gaining a more complete knowledge of the linguistic systems of tone used around the world. Specifically, this thesis is concerned with the description of how lexical tone is implemented phonetically in CM both in words produced in isolation as well as in combination with other words. Using voice recordings of a selection of single words and two word phrases, the fundamental frequency of the voice was measured and averaged across repetitions to show how the phonological process of terracing downstep influences the fundamental frequencies of an isolated word. The findings show that tone patterns may be affected by adjacent tones when spoken in sentence context. A downstep process phoneme /!/, postulated by Pike and Small (1974), appears to cause downstep when contiguous to an H tone. When adjacent to an L tone it does not show the same downstep effects. The data also show that a shift in H f0 target placement before a lowered H or a L tone may occur in an attempt to further disperse the articulation of adjacent tone targets. L.H. tones that follow /!/ lose their sharp rise but still resist declination while the L target of a L.L. couplet seems to shift rightward and fall sharply.
