The effect of focus on stressed and unstressed syllables in Chinese: The variation of intensity

In this paper, the average intensity and the effect of focus and stress on it for disyllabic words in Chinese is analyzed. The key words in the experiment are 20 verbs, occurring in sentence medial position, and the subjects are eight native speakers of standard Chinese. Average intensity is analyzed, and results show that the intensity of the rhyme is greater than that of the onset. The effect of focus on the intensity of the rhyme is greater than that of the onset, and the effect of focus on the intensity of the rhyme of the stressed syllable is the greatest.
