In this brief paper, I wish to discuss some problems of methodology I have met with in the study of word-tone and sentence-intonation in Chinese.
The most obvious fact we have to recognize is that the actual melody or pitch movement of a tonal patterns which are supposed to make up the tones of that language. It is in fact a resultant of three elements, the characteristic tones of the individual syllable-words, their influence on each otherin connected speech, and the movement of pitch, which indicates the mood or attitude of the speaker. The first is usually called tone, or etymological tone, the second I shall call neutral intonation, and the third expressive intonation, the latter two together forming sentence intonation. |
