چکیده
This paper investigates the tonal pattern of mono-syllabic and the tone sandhi pattern of disyllable of Linyi dialect through the method of experimental phonetics. Previous studies provided the five-scale value of four citation tones and some of the features of tone sandhi of Linyi dialect. Further experimental data is needed to confirm these results, and to verify the tone sandhi patterns. First of all, this paper gets the pitch contour of mono-syllabic of Linyi dialect, and compares the results in the form of five-scale value with the results of previous tonal pattern investigation of Linyi dialect. Slight differences have been observed between them. Then this study explored the tone sandhi pattern within disyllable. Most of the tone sandhi occurs to the initial tone of the two syllables.

Speaker engagement can have a strong effect on the utterance-final acc...
