Download or read book Tono-types and Tone Evolution written by Jingfen Zhang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive study on the phonetic characteristics of citation tones in Chaoshan Chinese. It presents the tonal patterns of 65 localities in the Chaoshan area under the “multiple-register and four-level” tonal model. Three case studies are conducted to delve into the evolutionary paths of Chaoshan tones. This book not only provides a large-scale typological study on Chaoshan Chinese, but also offers a good example of how to figure out the evolutionary paths of tones from the perspective of variation. The natural alliance of phonetics, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and dialect geography is reinforced. It is also suggested in this book that the joint use of these four disciplines is very promising for the study of Chinese.

Download or read book REGIONAL ACCENTED MANDARIN TONE written by HUANGMEI LIU and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has its unique value as the pioneer study on the regional variants of Mandarin by experimental phonetics methods, sociophonetic methods, and AI assisted big data methods. Dialectal Mandarins are commonly well-recognized variations for standards Mandarin that have regional characteristics. This book is divided into four parts. The first part introduces Chinese, Chinese dialects, and Mandarin tones. In part two, the book makes a comprehensive and systematic comparison among Beijing Mandarin, Shanghai Mandarin, and Guangzhou Mandarin as the three major Mandarin variants by both the experimental phonetic methods and by using deep learning method. In the deep learning chapter, this book explores whether deep learning can recognize regional dialects patterns from the large amounts of data, and whether it can successfully identify the tonal system of each region’s dialects. The experimental results show that deep learning performs perfectly well in regional dialect recognition and tonal system learning. Liu Yuxuan, a student from USST, provided important technical support for the deep learning experiment. The third part further deepens the research perspective, and studies the geographically close subregional Mandarin. This part involves both acoustic research and perceptual research on three geographically close subregional dialects of Mandarin. The last part is a report on two experiments investigating dialectal experience’s role in predicting listeners’ subjective depiction on both non-categorical and categorical tonal variants of the official language, Putonghua. The dialectal resources recorded in this book are also valuable. The book is supposed to contribute to new progress in academic study on language variation, language evolution, experimental phonetics methods, as well as AI programming.

Download or read book Intervals, Scales, Tones and the Concert Pitch C written by Maria Renold and published by Temple Lodge Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that certain intervals, scales, and tones sound genuine, while others sound false? Is the modern person able to experience a qualitative difference in a tone's pitch? If so, what are the implications for modern concert pitch and how instruments of fixed tuning are tuned? Renold tackles these and many other questions and provides a wealth of scientific data. Her pioneering work is the result of a lifetime of research into the Classical Greek origin of Western music and the search for modern developments. She deepens our musical understanding by using Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science as a basis, and she elucidates many of his puzzling statements about music. The results of her work include the following discoveries: The octave has two sizes (a 'genuine' sounding octave is bigger than the "perfect octave"). There are three sizes of "perfect fifths." An underlying "form principle" for all scales can be found. Equal temperament is not the most satisfactory method of tuning a piano. She provides a basis for some of Steiner's statements, such as, "C is always prime," and "C = 128 Hz = Sun." Here is a valuable resource for those who wish to understand the deeper, spiritual aspects of music.

Download or read book Tone in Yongning Na written by Alexis Michaud and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yongning Na, also known as Mosuo, is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken in Southwest China. This book provides a description and analysis of its tone system, progressing from lexical tones towards morphotonology. Tonal changes permeate numerous aspects of the morphosyntax of Yongning Na; they are not the product of a small set of phonological rules, but of a host of rules that are restricted to specific morphosyntactic contexts. Rich morphotonological systems have been reported in this area of Sino-Tibetan, but book-length descriptions remain few. This study of an endangered language contributes to a better understanding of the diversity of prosodic systems in East Asia. The analysis is based on original fieldwork data (made available online), collected over the course of ten years, commencing in 2006.

Download or read book The Diachrony of Tone Sandhi written by Qing Lin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the diachronic change of the tone sandhi of Southern Min Chinese, which is known for its synchronic arbitrariness and opacity. It argues that in final-prominent tone sandhi, the change of final tones and the change of non-final tones can be highly independent and essentially different from each other. Accordingly, it proposes a new position-based diachronic approach to study the separate evolution of tones occurring at different positions. This book is the first study to rigorously and systematically explore the diachrony of Southern Min tone sandhi.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade and a half has witnessed a great deal of renewed interest in the study of Chinese linguistics, not only in the traditional areas of philological studies and in theoretically oriented areas of syn chronic grammar and language change but also in the cultivation of new frontiers in related areas of the cognitive sciences. There is a significant increase in the number of students studying one area or another of the linguistic structure of Chinese in various linguistic programs in the United States, Europe, Australia and in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and other parts of Asia. Several new academic departments devoted to the study of linguistics have been established in Taiwan and Hong Kong in the past few years. The increasing research and study activities have also resulted in a number of national and international conferences, including the North American Conference on Chinese Linguistics (NACCL), which has been held annually in the United States; the International Symposium on Chinese Languages and Linguistics (IsCLL), which has had its fourth meeting since it was launched by Academia Sinica in Taiwan in 1990; the International Association of Chinese Linguistics (lACL), created in Singapore in 1992 and now incorporated in Irvine, California, which has held its annual meetings at major institutions in Asia, Europe, and the US.

Download or read book Tone Evolution written by Caiyu Wang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a start of defining the uni- and multi-phonational tone systems of geographically-connected dialects under a phonation-pitch tonal model. It also demonstrates an interpretation of the contemporary ongoing tonal variations and varieties from the perspective of language evolution. Acoustic data are collected from five adjacent counties on the Jianghan Plain in China, where two varieties of Southwestern Mandarin and one variety of Gan Dialect are spoken. Falsetto and breathy phonations are applied in this area for phonological distinction, and thus the modal-only dialects co-occur with the di-phonational (falsetto and modal) and tri-phonational (falsetto, modal, and breathy) ones. The acoustic and perceptual analyses are conducted to define tones under the Multi-Register Four-Level Tonal Model, a frame considering both pitch and phonation for the definition of tones. The synchronic variations and varieties within and across speakers/dialects are interpreted in the dynamic interplay of tones mainly governed by phonetic and phonological reasons. The inner-system tonal differences of individual dialectal varieties together with the general distributive patterns of tones in this area are evaluated to determine the paths of tone evolution. Fresh for it exploring the definition and linguistic meaning of the dynamic modal- and non-modal tones, the book benefits researchers with data, research methods, and insight and helps the language teachers and learners understand and learn tones with what the lexical tones really are. The book is also written for the readers curious of tones and tone languages.

Download or read book Tone Sandhi written by Matthew Y. Chen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-08-03 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Chen's study, first published in 2000, offers a most comprehensive analysis of the rich and complex patterns of tone used in Chinese languages. Chinese has a wide repertoire of tones which undergo often surprising changes when they are connected in speech flow. The term tone sandhi refers to this tonal alternation. Chen examines tone sandhi phenomena in detail across a variety of Chinese dialects. He explores a range of important theoretical issues such as the nature of tonal representation, the relation of tone to accent, the prosodic domain of sandhi rules, and the interface between syntax and phonology. His book is the culmination of a ten-year research project and offers a wealth of empirical data not previously accessible to linguists. Extensive references and a bibliography on tone sandhi complete this invaluable resource which will be welcomed as a standard reference on Chinese tone.

Download or read book Schoenberg's Twelve-Tone Music written by Jack Boss and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Boss takes a unique approach to analyzing Arnold Schoenberg's twelve-tone music, adapting the composer's notion of a 'musical idea' - problem, elaboration, solution - as a framework and focusing on the large-scale coherence of the whole piece. The book begins by defining 'musical idea' as a large, overarching process involving conflict between musical elements or situations, elaboration of that conflict, and resolution, and examines how such conflicts often involve symmetrical pitch and interval shapes that are obscured in some way. Containing close analytical readings of a large number of Schoenberg's key twelve-tone works, including Moses und Aron, the Suite for Piano Op. 25, the Fourth Quartet, and the String Trio, the study provides the reader with a clearer understanding of this still-controversial, challenging, but vitally important modernist composer.
