Is the glass half-full, or half-empty? The alternative concept of stress in Mandarin Chinese

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study proposes an alternative view on Chinese stress. The focus is on the issue of phonetic weakening, instead of the issue of stress. The existence of word stress in Chinese is refused. The proposed hypothesis claims that in tonal Chinese, particularly in colloquial Mandarin of Beijing type, phonetic weakening plays a more important role than phonetic enhancement. It is quite rule-governed, and many of its instances have become phonologized / grammaticalized. The main source of phonetic weakening is semantic weakening, occurring at various linguistic levels. The author claims that knowing more about the contexts and functions of the weakening and its relationship with grammar and information structure may stimulate progress in studies of Chinese speech rhythm.
