The Experimental Study Of Tone Of Pubiao Language

Pubiao is an ethnic group which spreads across the ranks of the cross-border. Ithas its own language but no text. In China, Pubiao peoples live in Malipo Wenshanzhuang and miao minority autonomous prefecture of yunnan province Dong Gantown and Tiechang township horse with, Matong,Punong,Pucha, PuFeng, Longling,Makun, LongLin and others, as a branch of The Yi nationality. According to thepolitical division, Vietnam Pubiao people which lived in Vietnam HeJiang province isadjacent to China Tongwen,Anming and MiaoWang three counties of the spear.ThePubiao language sparsely populated, general signs belong to The Kadai language, notthe difference of dialects, has been in a state of critically endangered. In this paper,using the method of experimental phonetics acoustic experiment to study the wordharmonic tone, draw a dual tone modulation mode, the content is divided into fiveparts, the content is as follows:Prefae introduces the Pubiao language present situation, the paper selected topicreason, purpose and significance, research methods and theoretical basis.Chapter1introduces the Pubiao peoples and their language, and a briefoverview of the general signs of mouth transcription of sound system characteristicsand the characteristics of the initials, finals and tones.Chapter2on the Pubiao’s words account for adjustable tone analysis experiment,research’s Pubiao language of pitch, introduces pronunciation partners’ selection,material selection, the choice of experimental method and experimental study.Chapter3on the Pubiao language of words the experiment research, with Praatspeech analysis software script first base frequency according to in the key of dataprocessing for words, draw the spectrum diagram, the T value method was carried outon the pitch data normalization, into the traditional value of5degrees words of tonepattern plotted on a graph. From the experiment it is concluded that vocabularystructure adjustment as the level tone pitch of24,53,213,35,55, promote the tone ofthe33,35, and traditional transcription tone value is different,45and45experimentalresults of35and35. Chapter4uses the dual tone of the acoustic experiment, the research group’sPubiao language double word pitch, of the liaison modulation. Method and process ofexperiment is discussed. Obtain double tone fundamental frequency acoustic data first,and then to return a value into five degrees, according to the specific chart dataclassification discuss each category double word group before and after the positionof the tone sandhi, which induces double word group even read tone sandhi patterns.Hope the experiment will contribute to future research of Pubiao language.
