0	5000	Standard Chinese, a modular approach.
5000	8000	Resource module on pronunciation and romanization.
8000	10000	Tape 6.
10000	14000	So far in this series of tapes on pronunciation and romanization,
14000	16000	we've been dealing with single syllables.
16000	19000	All of our examples have been single syllable surnames.
19000	22000	On this tape we're going to take up two syllable combinations.
22000	25000	Most of our examples will be place names.
25000	28000	We'll be primarily concerned with sequences of tones,
28000	33000	but our examples just happen to review all the vowel and consonant sounds and spellings we've covered.
33000	36000	You've probably already started on the orientation module.
36000	40000	If you have,you've already come across syllables in what we call the neutral tone.
40000	44000	That is unstressed syllables which cannot be assigned to any of the four tones.
44000	47000	Examples from unit one are the second syllables of
47000	53000	先生,小姐,你呢?
53000	56000	in 太太.
56000	59000	Display one gives you four examples of the neutral tone.
59000	62000	We need four examples because what we call the neutral tone
62000	65000	is actually slightly different after each of the four full tones.
65000	68000	Listen to the high tone verb to fly,
68000	70000	the rising tone verb to be fat,
70000	72000	the low tone verb to slander,
72000	74000	and the falling tone verb to waste,
74000	78000	each with the neutral tone ending luh attached.
78000	86000	Faila,faila,faila,faila.
86000	95000	Again,faila,faila,faila,faila.
95000	100000	Notice that there is no tone mark over the neutral tone syllable in the romanization.
100000	105000	A toneless syllable or what we call a syllable in the neutral tone has a definite pitch,
105000	108000	but this pitch doesn't belong to the syllable the way a tone does.
108000	111000	Instead it's determined by the tone of the preceding syllable,
111000	115000	as you can see in the tone diagrams in the display.
115000	118000	Notice the different heights of the dots representing the neutral tone,
118000	121000	and listen for the correspondingly different pitches of the neutral tone
121000	124000	as the speaker reads the syllables.
124000	130000	Faila,faila,faila,faila.
130000	134000	Again,faila,faila,faila.
134000	139000	We won't go into it on this tape,
139000	143000	but the pitch of the neutral tone is also affected by the tone of a following syllable.
143000	146000	We also won't go into a freestanding neutral tone syllable
146000	148000	and sequences of neutral tone syllables.
148000	152000	After the high tone,the pitch of the neutral tone is almost at the bottom.
152000	154000	Listen for the drop.
154000	160000	Faila,faila,faila.
160000	162000	Try imitating it.
162000	171000	Faila,faila,faila.
171000	175000	After the rising tone,the pitch of the neutral tone is in the middle.
175000	177000	Listen for the drop.
177000	183000	Faila,faila,faila.
183000	185000	Try imitating it.
185000	191000	Faila,faila.
191000	194000	Faila.
194000	200000	You may have noticed that the low tone of two slanders stayed low before the neutral tone of low.
200000	202000	There was no rising tail.
202000	207000	As a matter of fact,the low tone only has its rising tail when nothing follows it immediately.
207000	209000	We'll go further into this in a moment.
209000	213000	After this tail is low tone,which is sometimes called the half third tone,
213000	215000	the pitch of the neutral tone is near the top.
215000	217000	Listen for the jump.
217000	223000	Faila,faila,faila.
223000	225000	Try imitating it.
225000	235000	Faila,faila,faila.
235000	239000	After the falling tone,the pitch of the neutral tone is at the bottom.
239000	242000	It really takes the place of the tip of the tail of the falling tone.
242000	245000	Listen for the steady fall.
245000	251000	Faila,faila,faila.
251000	253000	Try imitating it.
253000	261000	Faila,faila,faila.
261000	265000	Now try repeating each example after the speaker.
265000	272000	Faila,faila.
272000	277000	Faila,faila.
277000	279000	Again.
279000	285000	Faila,faila.
285000	290000	Faila,faila.
290000	293000	This time try saying each example ahead of the speaker.
293000	297000	Here we go.
297000	304000	Faila,faila.
304000	310000	Faila,faila.
310000	313000	Again.
313000	320000	Faila,faila.
320000	326000	Faila,faila.
326000	330000	Exercise 1 has these four examples in scrambled order.
330000	332000	Read and repeat.
332000	337000	One,faila.
337000	342000	Two,faila.
342000	348000	Three,faila.
348000	354000	Four,faila.
354000	359000	Five,faila.
359000	365000	Six,faila.
365000	370000	Seven,faila.
370000	376000	Eight,faila.
376000	381000	Nine,faila.
381000	386000	Ten,faila.
386000	392000	Eleven,faila.
392000	398000	Twelve,faila.
398000	402000	We notice that the low tone stays low before the neutral tone.
402000	405000	It also stays low before the high, rising and falling tones.
405000	409000	In other words,it stays low before any tone except another low tone.
409000	412000	Listen to examples in display too.
412000	422000	台北,北京,永平,保定.Again.
422000	432000	台北,北京,永平,保定.
432000	437000	The syllable 北,which means north, is in the low tone.
437000	444000	In台北,the name of the largest city in Taiwan,it comes at the end and so it has its rising tail.
444000	451000	In Beijing,Peking,it comes before a different full tone and so it loses its rising tail.
451000	455000	The same thing happens in 永平 and 保定.
455000	458000	Try repeating these examples after the speaker.
458000	471000	台北,北京,永平,保定.Again.
471000	483000	台北,北京,永平,保定.
483000	488000	When a low tone comes before another low tone,something quite different happens.
488000	490000	It changes to a rising tone.
490000	493000	Display 3 has the names of two lakes in Peking.
493000	499000	Nanhai,literally South Sea and 北海,literally North Sea.
499000	502000	Notice that the tone diagrams are the same for both names.
502000	509000	Before the low tone of 海,the low tone of 北 becomes a rising tone,indistinguishable from the rising tone of 南.
509000	511000	Listen.
511000	517000	南海,北海.Again.
517000	524000	南海,北海.Try repeating.
524000	532000	南海,北海.Again.
532000	538000	南海,北海.
538000	563000	Try repeating the examples in exercise 2 and repeat after the speaker.
563000	567000	台北,北海.
567000	572000	北京,3.
572000	578000	永平,4.

610000	615000	保定,11.
615000	620000	永平,12.
620000	625000	北海.
625000	631000	Now look at the 20 examples in display 4,representing all two tone sequences.
631000	639000	Listen to the speaker read across the rows,paying particular attention to the neutral tone and to the irregular low tones.
639000	649000	山西,昆明,香港,開花,飞了.
649000	660000	延安,云南,台北,羅定,肥了.
