Title
PEKINESE TONES - PROPOSAL FOR A NEW APPROACH.
Abstract
No satisfactory theory considering the mutual interaction of tones, on the one hand, and accentuation and intonation on the other, has been elaborated as yet. This paper therefore concentrates on the observation of consistence of four tones contours. It is demonstrated by the oscillograms obtained by the author of this paper in 1969-1970 at Berkeley for three speakers where the tones are either controlled by the speaker or are the automatic result of acoustic phenomena.
