tian(55) wen(35) tai(35) -> tian(55) wen(55) tai(35)
Although I don't speak Beijing Mandarin as my native, I speak putonghua very
well, and I studied and worked in Beijing for many years.
tian(55) wen(55) tai(35) would still sound very odd to me.
What do you guys think? daigaku, please? | d*****u
发帖数: 17243 | 2 In my opinion, it's a possible variation.
The tone sandi of Beijing Mandarin is actually more complicated than people
used to assume. I suppose we can even introduce the concept of mora to analyze
this.
tian55 wen35 tai35->tian5 wen5 tai35
'tian' and 'wen' are monomoraic respectively, and 'tai' is bimoraic.
The 'tian55' spreads its high tone to the next TBU.
By the way, many phonologists have pointed out that 5-scale representation is
redundant for dialects which do not contrast voice feature. 4

but tai is bimoraic, daigaku sensei?

发帖数: 17243 | 5 I've never thought about this issue carefully.
But I suppose for a particular kind of trisyllablic noun, Beijingers tend to
reanalyse it so that it has 4 moras like a bisyllabic noun, which is more
common in modern Chinese.

Note, the foot(F) here does not necessarily coincide with the stress foot
commonly used in phonology. And the mora is a tonal mora, hav

发帖数: 14 | 8 it doesn't sound odd to me at all.
i'll change " wen" from 35 to 55 in fast speech.
for me it's just about spreading of 55 from tian to
wen and this is very common within the boundary of
prosodic word.

发帖数: 127 | 9 acoustically speaking, the phrase final or sentence final word is always
lenghtened natually.
I kind of did an experiment with
tian (55) wen (35) tai (35)
and
tian (55) wen (55) tai(35)
Interestingly, I found 'wen' in the second reading actually shows a
rising contour at the tail, not exactly (55)as tian shown by the F0.
Please look at the spectrogram
normal reading: tian (55) wen (35) tai (35)

发帖数: 127 | 10 besides,
in the fast reading of tian (55) wen (55) tai (35)
the durations of tian (55) wen (55) tai (35) are
0.176ms 0.206ms 0.396ms
In the normal reading of tian (55) wen (35) tai(35)
the durations of tian (55) wen (35) tai(35) are
0.346ms 0.347ms 0.477ms
obviously, in the fast reading of tian (55) wen (55) tai (35)
tai(35) has almost as twice as the time of tian(55) and wen (55).

发帖数: 17243 | 12 The rising of "wen" in fast speech may be a result of reanalysis. People tend
to raise the pitch a little bit even if the high tone has spreaded
progressively.
Also, it seems the "t" in "tai" is somewhat voiced, or it's a murmur sound.
