Abstract

The experimental study of Chinese phonetics started in the early twentieth century in the context of a long philological tradition in China. Its development was interrupted by the war and political events during the first half of the twentieth century, but resumed and eventually flourished after the late 1970s. The works of Chao Yuenren, Wu Zongji, and other phoneticians have laid the foundations for in-depth studies of Chinese phonetics. Over several decades, studies of Chinese phonetics have covered all three fundamental aspects of speech, i.e., speech production, acoustic phonetics, and speech perception. Particular attention has been paid to significant phonetic features of Chinese, such as tone and intonation. Phonetic studies of Chinese have also stimulated interests in interdisciplinary research. Speech pathology, forensic phonetics, speech acquisition, and phonetic learning of Chinese as a second language have been explored vigorously. Further studies in Chinese phonetics along these lines with integration with other disciplines and state-of-the-art technologies will not only deepen our understanding of Chinese, but of human language in general.
