Then comparing two results, which makes the research more objective and science. Perhaps, the majority of language scholars will pay attention to the Longxu dialect. This article wants to take Longxu dialect as the object and through acoustic experiments to study the intonation of Longxu dialect by modem computer technology, especially wants to obtain the Longxu dialect the monosyllabic tone pattern and to read the transposition rule continually. The author hopes to provide the reference material for the research of the Cantonese films language of Guangxi branch.This thesis is mostly consisting of five sections. The first section is "Preface", describing the topics cause, summary of the survey of experimental research and the tones in Chienese dialects, overview of Longxu;its geographical region and history, and finally this section describes the purpose, contents and significance of research on this article.The second section is "Phonology of Longxu dialect and experiment description "It includes:Longxu dialects and system of tones, experimental character table, pronunciation, audio, choice of acoustic instrumentation, tone, pitch and length normalization.The third section has, "The experiment analysis of Longxu dialect mono-syllabic tone", that studies on mono-syllable tone of Longxu dialect from the two perspectives; Adjustable pattern and duration pattern. Experimental results show that there are nine tonal categories in Longxu dialects. The mono-syllable tone Patten got in the experiments is Yinping(阴平)42, Yinru (阴入) 55, Yinshang (阴上) 45, Yinqu (阴去) 44, Zhongru (中入) 33, Yangping (阳平) 22, Yangshang (阳上) 34, Yangqu (阳去) 32, Yangru (阳 入) 32;and the author finds this conclusion is not consistent with previous studies. The duration Pattern of mono-syllable tone is Yinqu (阴去)> Yangqu (阳去)> Yangshang (阳上)> Yangping (阳平)> Yinshang (阴上)>Yinping(阴平)>Zhongru(中入)>Yangru(阳入)>Yinru(阴入).The duration of Shusheng(' 声)tone and Rusheng(入声)tone have significant difference,which show that Rusheng(入声)has not vanished.The title of fourth section is "The experiment analysis of Longxu dialect bi-syllabic tone which studies on bi-syllabic tone of Longxu dialect from the perspectives of tone pattern,tone modes,types,adjusting variation and duration.Experimental results show that:1.Longxu dialect have 81 groups of bi-syllable tones,in which 51 groups have produced the phenomenon of sandhi and 31 adjusting variations;2.There are 9 tonal categories in Longxu dialect,including two kinds of tone,and three kinds of type.Meanwhile the thange situation is complicated.3、The duration of the before word is Yangqu(阳去)>Yinping(阴平)>Yahgpin(阳 平)>Yinqu(阴去)>Yangshang(阳上)>Yinshang(阴上)>Yangru(阳入)>Zhongru(中入)>Yinru(阴 入).4、The duration of the after word is Yinqu(阴去):Yangpin(阳平)>Yangqu(阳去)> Yinshang(阴上)>Yangshang(阳上)>Yinping(阴平)>Zhongru(中入)>Yangru(阳入)>Yinru(阴 入).5.Compare the duration of bi-syllable tones with the mono-syllable tone.The last section is "Conclusion",which is the conclusion of whole thesis.This section includes the Performance and characteristies of mono-syllable tone and duration in Longxu dialect,the bi-syllable tone sandhi mode,type and duration model.
