Description

en This textbook will shed light on what happens to Chinese words when they enter the reality of continuous speech. It presents the basic prosodic phenomena of spoken colloquial Chinese, such as accent and its interplay with tones, weakened pronunciation of auxiliary words, phrasing, sentence intonation or the effects of the informational structure of the utterance. The material is explained on audio recordings of approximately 80 sentences, spoken by a native speaker, Chang Yun-ling Rusková. The sentences are recorded together with the entire text of the book on the attached audio medium. In the textbook, they are written in the CHIPROT prosodic transcription based on the Latin pinyin transcription (the author presents it here for the first time). The manual is professionally phonetically grounded, but it also wants to engage the user in an accessible and playful way.
