Discovery of Taiwanese tones and rules of tone changes. Taiwanese phonetics is based on three level tones, Tones 1,2,3. Add the derived tones, namely three cut tones, 1.,2.,3., one down tone, Tone 4 and one up tone, Tone 5, and there are eight tones altogether. The three level tones are musical. The tone changes follow the rules of circular rotation. The tones and tone changes are explainable by rules of music, physics and auditory physiology. This makes Taiwanese tones simple, clear and easy to teach. Taiwanese is likely the most tonal and musical language fo the world. To help teach Taiwanese, and to widen its margin of safety from the status of endangered language, the Author developed a new Taiwanese phonetic alphabet based on popular international phonetic letters. It needs only 24 simple letters, one letter per phoneme, no variants and no umlauts. Together, the tones, the rules of tone changes, and the new Taiwanese phonetic alphabet make a new phonetic system, ??????. The book is intended to become a textbook of Taiwanese phonetics. Chapter by chapter, it teaches Taiwanese sound tone by tone, Taiwanese tone changes rule by rule, and Taiwanese phonetic alphabet letter by letter. The Author then studied comparative phonetics comparing the sounds of Taiwanese, Mandarin Chinese, English and Romanized Taiwanese. With the new Taiwanese phonetic system, the Author further demonstrated its practical applications in Taiwanese words, proverbs, songs and poems. Plenty of appended pictures, tables, theories, songs and poems illustrate Taiwanese literature and cultures. World linguists should find Taiwanese language uniquely tonal and musical. In contrast with all existing methods of teaching, native and international learners of Taiwanese should find Taiwanese pronunciation easy, straight-forward and easy to learn. Viva, Taiwanese!

Tones are the most challenging aspect of learning Chinese as a second language, and L2 learners’ perceptual categories differ in important and fascinating ways from those of native speakers. This book explores the relationship between tone perception and production among native speakers and non-native learners as illustrated in the experiments the author conducted with native speakers, true learners and heritage learners, all of whom were tested on their ability to produce tones naturally and to perceive 81 synthesized tones in various contexts. The experiments show that each group processes tones differently with regard to both register (tonal level) and contour (tonal shape). The results also reveal how three types of cues – acoustic, psychological and contextual – influence non-native speakers’ tone perception and production.

Tones are the most challenging aspect of learning Chinese pronunciation for adult learners and traditional research mostly attributes tonal errors to interference from learners’ native languages. In Second Language Acquisition of Mandarin Chinese Tones, Hang Zhang offers a series of cross-linguistic studies to argue that there are factors influencing tone acquisition that extend beyond the transfer of structures from learners’ first languages, and beyond characteristics extracted from Chinese. These factors include universal phonetic and phonological constraints as well as pedagogical issues. By examining non-native Chinese tone productions made by speakers of non-tonal languages (English, Japanese, and Korean), this book brings together theory and practice and uses the theoretical insights to provide concrete suggestions for teachers and learners of Chinese.

This book argues a fresh theory about the structure of tone. Bao investigates a wide range of tone sandhi data from various Chinese dialects and other Asian tone languages, providing empirical support for his proposal that tone is a formal entity which consists of register and contour. Bao establishes a clear typological distinction between register tone languages and contour tone languages whose contour tones have a more complex structure.
