摘要: We model the differences between declarative and interrogative intonation in Chinese with Stem-ML, an description language combined algorithm for translating tags into quantitative prosody. Our study shows that diverse surface patterns can be accounted by two consistent gestures: 1. Interrogative has a higher phrase curve than intonation; 2. Sentence final syllables have more careful wider pitch swings sentences. Phrase curves of types tend to parallel boundary tones are not necessary modeling Chinese.
