China and Siberia
This chapter provides a summary of the prosodic systems of varieties of Chinese spoken in mainland China and Taiwan as well as languages in Siberia, in particular Ket. What the Chinese languages and Ket share is their tonal nature. This chapter highlights three unique aspects of the prosody of these languages. First, it surveys the typologically complex patterns of tonal alternation known as ‘tone sandhi’ and provides a summary of current experim…
An acceptability judgment study of 1+1 NN compounds in Chinese
A judgment study of word-length preferences in Chinese NN compounds
Word-length preferences in Chinese: A corpus study
The Phonology of Standard Chinese
This is a new and revised edition of the title first published by OUP in 2000. From the reviews of the first edition: 'This book is a comprehensive study of the phonology of Standard Chinese. Not only is it rich in detailed and amazingly accurate factual description, it also proposes elegant theoretical solutions to many long-standing problems in Chinese phonology, such as word length variation, word order, and the application of the third tone s…

A corpus study of Chinese regulated verse: Phrasal stress and the analysis of variability
I introduce 1460 lines of Chinese regulated verse and offer an analysis of the data. I also compare Chinese with English and discuss two approaches to variability in linguistic patterns (such as regular vs . exceptional forms, or perfect verse lines vs . lines with metrical tension). I argue that, whereas word stress is often more important than phrasal stress in English, it is crucial to understand the latter in Chinese. However, stress maxima p…
X-Slots, Feature Trees, and the Chinese Sound Inventory: A Twenty-First Century Take on Mandarin Phonological Structure
Chris Wen-Chao Li, X-Slots, Feature Trees, and the Chinese Sound Inventory: A Twenty-First Century Take on Mandarin Phonological Structure, Journal of the American Oriental Society, Vol. 122, No. 3 (Jul. - Sep., 2002), pp. 553-561
Metrical Structure and Tone: Evidence from Mandarin and Shanghai
Stress and the Development of Disyllabic Words in Chinese
A common conception of Chinese is that most of its words are monosyllabic historically but disyllabic in modern times. Since Chinese lost over 50% of its syllables in the past 1000 years, a standard explanation for the increase of disyllabic words is that they are created to avoid homonyms. I argue instead that, although disyllabic words have increased recently, Chinese has always had many disyllabic words. In addition, the increase of disyllabic…
Recursive Constraint Evaluation in Optimality Theory: Evidence from Cyclic Compounds in Shanghai
Metrical and Tonal Phonology of Compounds in Two Chinese Dialects
This study argues that both Shanghai and Taiwanese have a metrical system, that compound stress is left-headed in Shanghai and right-headed in Taiwanese and that a tonal domain is a metrical domain. It predicts tonal domains better than previous studies and explains some asymmetries between Shanghai and Taiwanese. It also supports the view that metrical structure can be determined in languages that lack data on phonetic stress. In addition, it sh…
Syllabic weight and syllabic duration: A correlation between phonology and phonetics
This paper explores a correlation between phonology and phonetics. It first reviews a phonological analysis that proposes that all full Mandarin rhymes are heavy and that all Shanghai rhymes are underlyingly light. Then it reports a small phonetic experiment that attempts to determine whether there is a phonetic correlate for the phonological claim. Four Mandarin speakers and five Shanghai speakers were recorded, each reading five sentences four …
