Abstract:

This article extends Optimality Theoretic studies to the research on second language tone phonology. Specifically, this work analyses the acquisition of identical tone sequences in Mandarin Chinese by adult speakers of three non-tonal languages: English, Japanese and Korean. This study finds that the learners prefer not to use identical lexical tones on adjacent syllables, especially the contour tone sequences. It is argued that the Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP) was playing a role in shaping the second language Chinese tonal phonology even though it was not learned from these speakers’ native languages, nor found widely applied in the target language. The acquisition order of tone pairs suggests an interacting effect of the OCP and the Tonal Markedness Scale. This study presents a constraint-based analysis and proposes a four-stage path of OCP sub-constraint re-ranking to account for the error patterns found in the phonological experiment.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is: (1) to describe the application of the Chinese phonology digital module to students of the Chinese Language Education Study Program, and (2) to describe the student's response to the Chinese phonology digital module. This study used the descriptive qualitative method. The data sources used in this study were students of the Mandarin Language Education Study Program, Universitas Negeri Malang. The data from this study were obtained from observations and interviews. The results of observations from this study indicate that learning activities by applying this digital module can run smoothly and according to plan. Students are enthusiastic about participating in all learning activities. In addition, students can also understand Chinese phonological material easily. Based on the interview results, it can be seen that the Chinese phonology digital module makes it easier for students to learn Chinese phonology anywhere and anytime.

Abstract:

Abstract It has often been claimed that writing systems have formal grammars structurally analogous to those of spoken and signed phonology. This paper demonstrates one consequence of this analogy for Chinese script and the writing systems that it has influenced: as with phonology, areal script patterns include the borrowing of formal regularities, not just of formal elements or interpretive functions. Whether particular formal Chinese script regularities were borrowed, modified, or ignored also turns out not to depend on functional typology (in morphemic/syllabic Tangut script, moraic Japanese katakana, and featural/phonemic/syllabic Korean hangul) but on the benefits of making the borrowing system visually distinct from Chinese, the relative productivity of the regularities within Chinese character grammar, and the level at which the borrowing takes place.

Abstract:

<p>This study investigates 128 Chinese college students to examine the effects of their musical aptitude and musical training on phonological production in four foreign languages. Results show that musically-trained students remarkably possessed stronger musical aptitude than those without musical training and performed better than their counterpart in foreign language suprasegmental production. Students of high musical aptitude performed significantly better in suprasegmental production and Russian production as compared with those of low musical aptitude. Musical aptitude could exert some effects on foreign language phonological production. With the music-phonology link confirmed in this study, pedagogical implications for teaching and learning of foreign language phonology are discussed.</p>

Abstract:

AbstractRobert Morrison (1782–1834; Chinese name: Maˇ Liˇxùn) was the London Missionary Society's first representative in China and is generally viewed as the father of Protestant missionary work there. Modern scholarly interest in him has in the main focused on his role as a Bible translator (see, for example, Zetzsche 1999, especially Chapter 2). As part of his missionary activities, Morrison studied both written and spoken Chinese; and these researches yielded grammars of both Mandarin (i.e. Guānhuà “the language of the mandarins or officials”; Morrison, 1815) and Cantonese (1815: appendix, pp. 259–280), plus a major dictionary of written Chinese (1815–1823) and a smaller lexicon of Cantonese (1828). In order to transcribe spoken Chinese, Morrison developed romanisations for both Mandarin and Cantonese. These orthographic systems shed light on the pronunciation of the underlying languages as they were spoken two hundred years ago. The purpose of the present paper is to examine Morrison's romanisation of Mandarin for clues about the pronunciation of early nineteenth-century standard Chinese.

Abstract:

This article analyzes the phonological characteristics of modern northern Mandarin that can be retrieved from Chinese loanwords written in the Jurchen script. The Jurchen materials used are basically the steles of the Jin dynasty. In the analyses an internal contrastive method is used to determine phonological categories to avoid circular arguments in dealing with the transcriptions between two unknown languages. The results of our analyses demonstrate that the limited Chinese loanwords in the Jurchen language actually contain critical information about the Chinese phonology of the Jin dynasty (1115-1234). The analyses of ten phonological characteristics show that Jin Chinese is clearly related to modern northern Mandarin as represented by the Beijing dialect. The phonological characteristics of Jin Chinese provide an important piece of information about the history of Mandarin before the Zhongyuan Yinyun 中原音韻 of 1324, which is commonly perceived as the earliest evidence of Mandarin phonology.

Abstract:

American Sign Language (ASL) signs are claimed to be composed of four parameters: handshape, location, movement (Sto]çoe 1960) and palm orientation (Battison 1974). This paper focuses solely on handshape, that is, the configuration of the thumb and the fingers in a given sign. Handshape is significant in ASL and Chinese Sign Language (CSL); that is, minimal pairs exist for handshape in each. Thus, the two ASL signs in (1) differ in one parameter: the handshapes are different, but the location, palm orientation and movement are the same. Similarly, the two CSL signs in (2) differ in one parameter: handshape. A logical next question asks if handshapes are further divisible into parts; more specifically, are handshapes composed of distinctive features? This question is not new; in fact, researchers have made many proposals for ASL handshape features (Lane, Boyes -Braem and Bellugi, 1979; Mandel, 1981; Liddell and Johnson, 1985; Sandler, 1989; Corina and Sagey, 1988 and others). This paper focuses on the proposal of Corina and Sagey (1988). In Section 2, I outline the proposed system for the distinctive handshapes of ASL, of which [lateral] is a part. Then using data from ASL and CSL, I give three arguments in support of the claim that there is not sufficient justification in ASL or CSL for the feature [lateral]. First, I show in Section 3 that the prediction which follows from the claim that [lateral] applies only to the thumb, namely that the thumb behaves differently from the other fingers, is not borne out by CSL data. Second, I argue in Section 4 that since other features (proposed by Corina and Sagey, 1988) can derive the same phonetic effects as [lateral], [lateral] is unnecessary to describe thumb features in either ASL or CSL. Third, in Section 5, I use ASL and CSL data to argue that the notion of fingers as "specified" or "unspecified ", although intuitively pleasing, should be discarded. If this notion cannot be used, the feature [lateral] does not uniquely identify a particular set of handshapes. I show that CSL data suggests that two other features, [contact to palm] and [contact to thumb] are independently needed. With these two features, and the exclusion of [lateral], the handshapes of both ASL and CSL can be explained. In Section 6, the arguments against [lateral] are summarized.

Abstract:

This chapter gives a sketch of phonological studies in three East Asian languages—Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The first section covers Chinese from ancient times to the present day. Historical issues of interest include annotation of pronunciation for a non-alphabetical orthography, compilation of riming tables, and reconstruction of Old Chinese phonology. Modern issues of interest include tone features, tone sandhi, syllable structure, morphophonemic alternations, language games, stress, poetic rhythm, and word length preferences. The second section focuses on Japanese and illustrates how phonological notions such as ‘mora’, ‘pitch accent’, and ‘Lyman’s Law’ developed in the phonological studies of the language. The third section deals with Korean with primary focus on its writing system (Hangul), pitch accent, and the three-way contrast in consonants.

Abstract:

In this chapter, Richard VanNess Simmons examines jūnhuà 軍話 and zhènghuà 正話Mandarin dialect islands in southeast China that formed in the Míng period in comparison to a Mandarin phonology recorded in a fifteenth century Guānhuà rime book, the Yùnlüè yìtōng 韻畧易通. The Mandarin phonology of that rhyme book was conservative for its time as it does not include innovations in Mandarin that occurred in the north earlier in the Yuán and are also not seen in the modern dialects of the Yúnnán 雲南 homeland of its author, Lán Mào 蘭茂 (1397–1476). Yet several of the conservative features of the Yùnlüè yìtōng are shared by the Mandarin dialect islands in the southeast. It is likely the dialect islands have preserved features shared by source dialects that were subsequently lost in the Yúnnán descendant of Lán Mào’s language. The chapter also finds that a set of those shared features encompasses the most salient characteristics of the type of Guānhuà koine that had the widest geographical currency in early Míng times
