Interplay of the four citation tones and intonation in Mandarin Chinese
普通话四声与语调的交互关系

Abstract 摘要
Intonation interacts with tones. Generally speaking, lexical tones are influenced in their F0 movement by sentence-intonation, but contrary to Chao’s position, their basic contours are preserved. The effect of intonation on tones is manifested by the phenomenon of pitch-neutralization, but not by an addition of a directionally opposite pitch-prolongation.
语调作用于声调。概括来说,声调的基频受句子语调的影响。与赵元任先生的观点相反,声调的基本调型仍保留下来。语调对声调的影响主要表现在音高的中和上,并不由于语调的作用而产生与声调方向反向的延长音。
