Research On The Sound System Of Jinan-accented Mandarin

This paper is on the research of the sound system of Jinan-accented Mandarin, which is an interlanguage between Mandarin and Jinan dialect. Jinan-accented Mandarin, one of the regional accented Mandarin, has transitional and systemic features.Based on sound survey, firstly we summarized the initial phonemic system (IPS), final phonemic system (FPS) and tone phonemic system (TPS) of Jinan-accented Mandarin. And then we made contrastive analysis in order to explain the causes of the non-standard allophone and construct the acquisition order of Jinan-accented Mandarin's phonemic system. There are four chapters in this paper.Chapterâ… , introduction. This chapter is not only an introduction of the research of regional accented Mandarin, but also a summarization of the general features of Jinan-accented Mandarin and an instruction of the research approach, method for study and language materials.Chapterâ…¡, initial-fmal-tone method (IFTM) for generalizing phonemic system and IPS of Jinan-accented Mandarin. In this chapter, firstly the phonemic systems of Mandarin and Jinan dialect have been generalized by using the initial-final-tone method, and then IPS of Jinan-accented Mandarin.Chapterâ…¢, FPS of Jinan-accented Mandarin. On the basis of the final survey report, FPS of Jinan-accented Mandarin has been generalized still using IFTM. By focusing contrastive analysis on FPS, the order of acquisition of Jinan-accented Mandarin's finals has been constructed.Chapterâ…£, TPS of Jinan-accented Mandarin. According to the measurement and calculation of tone values, the tone survey report has been made. Based on that, we used IFTM to generalize TPS of Jinan-accented Mandarin, and made contrastive analysis on TPS for explaining the causes of non-standard tone allophone and constructing the acquisition order of Jinan-accented Mandarin's tones.
