Abstract:

This book examines the acquisition of L2 Mandarin prosody, a less explored
area in SLA. While acknowledging that tone acquisition is one of the most
important aspects in acquiring L2 Mandarin phonology, the book demonstrates
that phrase- and utterance-level prosody is equally important. Specifically,
this book discusses the acquisition of Mandarin lexical tones and
utterance-level prosody, the interaction of tones and intonation, the
acquisition of Tone 3 sandhis, the temporal differences between L1 and L2
Mandarin discourse, and the relationship between intelligibility,
comprehensibility and foreign accent perception in L2 Chinese. In addition, a
whole chapter is exclusively devoted to the pedagogy of L2 Mandarin prosody.
Studies in this book further our understanding of speech prosody in L1 and L2
and showcase the interesting interaction of phonetics, phonology, and pedagogy
in SLA. This book will be of great interest to SLA researchers and graduate
students, applied linguists, Chinese linguists, and Chinese practitioners.
