- Title
PROSODIC FEATURES IN CHINESE (PEKINESE): PROSODIC TRANSCRIPTION AND STATISTICAL TABLES.
- Abstract
This paper is based on a large research project on the prosodic characteristics of modern colloquial Chinese. First, it describes the method of marking prosodic features developed by the authors. The publication of the work where the prosodic system was used (in the text mentioned as the Dictionary of the most frequent monosyllabic sememes) postdated by seven years the first appearance of this paper: the four-volume dictionary was published over the years 1998 to 2002 under the title Učební slovník jazyka čínského (Learning Dictionary of Modern Chinese). Second, the paper provides statistical tables and graphs mapping out various prosodic features of modern Chinese, such as the occurrence of lexemes based on a number of syllables, a duration of syllables, the number of syllables occurring with the frame of higher rhythmic units, the tonal prominence of syllables, the occurrence of ictus-bearing and non-ictus-bearing syllables or the occurrence of disyllabic lexemes of various accentuation types.
