Abstract:
Cantonese lexical tones are preserved in both speaking and singing (which can
be regarded as a special kind of speech style). Through three phonetic
experiments, the present thesis studies the intonation effects on Cantonese
lexical tones in speaking and singing. An innovative theoretical framework was
proposed, which is a two-dimensional matrix of pitch configuration (slope,
register and span) and pitch domain (syllable level and utterance level,
including utterance-body and utterance-final portions). Data analyses with
this framework identified an updrift intonation in singing speech style, which
stands out to be a reference for the universal declination intonation in
speaking speech style. Further studies were conducted in speaking speech style
with an interdisciplinary approach of phonetics and syntax: declarative and
interrogative utterances with and without sentence-final particles (SFP,
henceforth) were systematically compared. The results suggested that the
utterance-final intonation is a kind of segmentless SFP. This study enriches
the knowledge of intonation typology and provides further insight into the
interrelated concepts of tone, intonation and SFP.
