Chinese speakers with different backgrounds and experience frequently have varying opinions about what is acceptable speech, soraetimes feeling quite strongly about vhat is "correctThere will inevitably be instance* when even tvo of your teachers disagree about the acceptable my to expreb9 a thought, īn such cases, the social differences in the situations which j the teachers are envisioning would probably make different speech appro-prlate in each situation.

about the phrase aEi zher. Here is a compartson between the Chinese and a literal English version of the yes/no-choice question:
Shl bu shi |
zāi zbēr huan qiSn? |
(Is it or isn^t It |
here that 1 change money?) |
Notice that the affirmative choice in shi bu shi has a tone, while the negative does not -
The answer to a ahi tu shi question starts vith 5hi,for ”yeSjIT or ~bu shi > for lfno*TI
Bht zai zhěr hulLn. It is here that you change it*
Bū shi īāi zhSr hu^i. It isnft here that you change it.
In exchange 8, the ghl for "yes,* la emphasized and bo has its tone:
Shi; sht 艺Si £hěr huān* Yes, it ĪS here that you change it.
Notice that the place phrase all zhěr precedes the main verb huan. In Chinese, the orāer of phrases iā TIMĒS PLACES ACTION.
