Conclusions are as follows:1.Xiangfen dialect has five tones, they are Yinping21,Yangping113,Shangsheng31,Yinqu33,Yangqu53. When word pronunciation tune long personal style varies, regardless of gender.2.The bi-syllable tone of Xiangfen dialect performance in the pitch and duration aspects as follows:(1)As for the pitch:①hen Yangping and Yinqu lies in the position of the second character, the tone remained the original tone;②hen Yangqu lies in the secong character, the tone will be transferred into32;③efore the double-word transfer when the word is Yinping tune,the tone of former characters changed.(2)The duration aspects:there are differences between male and female voices. When the former character is Yangping tune, the duration is the logest.3.The neutral tone between Xiangfen dialect and Mandarin have similarities and differences, softly xiangfen dialect is actually a " neutral tone."(1) The neutral tone of Xiangfen dialect mainly two types, one is similar to Mandarin, after Yinping, Shangsheng, Yinqu and Yangqu tune, the neutral tone read light and short;the other is after Yangping tune, the neutral tune is a falling tone;(2) Heavy-light type the word before the word group affected due the neutral tune, the tone curve from the original flat transfer or demotion into a zigzag line;(3) The neutral tones of Xiangfen dialect word length is slightly shorter than the former character;(4) The neutral tones of Xiangfen dialect pronunciation is much powerful weakened, but there is still a small part of sound intensity enhanced, so similar to the Mandarin neutral tone, intensity of the neutral tone is not the deciding factor.
