Chinese Prosodic Transcription (CHIPROT) and the prediction of prosodic structure

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper introduces a new prosodic transcription called CHIPROT (based on Hanyu Pinyin), primarily designed for L2 teaching purposes. It is a tool for transcribing putonghua utterances of colloquial style delivered at a natural tempo. CHIPROT may also be used to indicate the prominence patterns of short phrases (2–3 syllables) called “minimodules”, or phonetic chunks, which draw on the notion of formulaic language. The features labelled by CHIPROT are (1) the degree of prominence of particular syllables (ma, mā, mā, MĀ), and (2) phrasing (prosodic words and prosodic phrases). CHIPROT was initially inspired by the system of Prof. O. Švarný (1920–2011). However, it is based on a different phonological analysis of Chinese stress. Crucial notions are a normal syllable and a weakened syllable. The current paper argues that many features of prosodic structure (particularly syllable weakening) can be predicted, and that these predictions can be built into the transcription procedure. CHIPROT is graphically simple and highly intuitive. It has been tested in pedagogic practice. Final version, presented in this article, has already been systematically applied in a recently published textbook (Mluvte čínsky hezky: prozodie hovorové čínštiny / Třísková, Academia 2021). CHIPROT can be used by teachers and compilers of pedagogic materials and may also be useful for linguists engaged in research on connected speech.
