I think whats interesting is that most men are very direct like if I generally literally mean exactly what I'm talking about while with women they communicate more with emotional intonation and generally have a sing songey way of communicating information like every word spoken is more of an emotional meaning rather than a literal one. This causes confusion between genders because women expect men to be psychic and men expect women to be logical. It gets even weirder when you add further complexities like race, religion, sexuality etc can all have very profound effects on the psycho-neurobiology of communication.

Susanne Eby That's a bad analogy, living in china doesn't necessarily mean your Mandarin is going to be perfect. This may not be the perfect analogy either but both my parents have lived in Ontario for 13 years and their english is still not even good enough for people to comprehend them when ordering in a drive thru. When I was in high school I had to do a play on assimilation, one of the characters was a french stay at home mom, her character was mainly defined by her lack of comprehension of english. Even though she lived in an english speaking country she was in the end unable to even communicate with her grown daughter due to her daughter being fully assimilated and her not learning the language. Tldr:This is simply to say that a person can live in a foreign country and learn little of the native language.

On the other hand, English Stress can completely change the meaning of a word (though admittedly, in Most cases it's the difference between two related words where one is a noun/adjective/verb and the other is a different one of those three options). Most languages have fixed stress patterns so they can't do that. English, if course, goes the extra mile: first, written English doesn't indicate this anywhere (though some of the spelling rules /exceptions that seem arbitrary turn out to instead be stress dependant) and second, most languages will have a single stressed syllable in a word, all others are unstressed. English has, depending on how you count it, either three or four degrees of stress, in a repeating sequence such that a long enough word could have two primary stresses, which is the equivalent of the stressed syllable in other languages, but no fixed starting point in that sequence save that you won't get a second Primary stress in a word of less than seven syllables. Stress also affects the pronunciation of vowels. A "long vowel" (archaic terminology, it's more like "vowels that were pronounced as long vowels literally hundreds of years ag in certain dialects") cannot appear in unstressed syllables, and schwa doesn't appear in syllables with primary stress (or possibly secondary stress for that matter. Don't quite recall). Oddly, people talk about a "sarcastic tone" in English... A few years back actual research was done on that matter. The conclusion? There is no such thing. Or at least, it's not in any way distinct from the tones indicating humour or derision (which one is used to indicate sarcasm is generally the same one that would be used for a non-sarcastic remark at the same point in the conversation.) Or so it was reported. Non-scientific reporting of scientific studies is always a bit of a crap shoot on the accuracy front.

You can get misunderstood when you incorrectly pronounce a tone.

@@laurencefraser The primary trouble with English stress isnt changing the meaning to a wildly different word, though. Prosody in English can make or break how fluent you sound but I am struggling to think of examples where itll make the content of your words completely out of place as mixing up tones in a tonal language would. I dont follow the research but ime stress in English is used for following prosodic convention just because, or breaking it for emphasis. Like how putting stress on each word in a sentence like "I never stole her money" gives a slightly different meaning/focus. Its verbal italics, basically. As someone mentioned you might come off as sarcastic but I have never seen an ELL habitually do this. Even native speakers do it from time to time. Its not something I'd worry about.

Talk normally" Singlish annoying because there is Chinese element there. And yep all Chinese languages are annoying. Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, etc. Whatever. Except for Turk. Turk ppl also part of China, right? In East Turkestan aka Xinjiang region. Uyghur people. So i assume Turk also one of Chinese languages. But Turkish language is different from the real Chinese language HATE it or NOT, it's a fact. You can talk bad to me, but u can't change the fact. In East Asia region, the most pleasant language is Japanese. And that's why lot of Chinese games using Japanese dub instead of Chinese. Yea they also have Chinese dub, but it's less popular than the Japanese one Chinese n Japanese is like German and English. Both are Germanic language. German is harsher and less popular than English. But both surely better than Chinese languages

@@secretadmirer3815 therefore my suggestion, it is perhaps as you said the lack of concept. most people can to some degree follow along musical notes, even if not in perfect tone, so sit next to a piano (actually a string instrument like guitar/violin works better).

Tone is an important part of all languages, but just because a language has tone does not make it tonal. What makes a tonal language such as Chinese tonal is it’s frequent use of different tones for one word to give it different meanings. A nontonal language is a language that rarely use these types of tones, such as English.

English tones are more in how words are stressed in a sentence. My mother is a linguist and used to use this example in English: Did you wash the car? Depending on which part of the sentence is stressed changes the nature of the sentence and what is actually being asked. DID you wash the car? (was the action done) Did YOU wash the car? (were you the person who washed it) Did you WASH the car? (of all the things done to the car, was washing part of it) Did you wash the CAR? (of all the things washed, was the car one of them).

If you know music theory you can try to use tones in stuff. 1st tone(yinping) for G, 2nd tone(yangping) for E-G, 3rd tone(shangsheng) for D-C-F and 4th tone(qusheng) for G-C.

it took me about 5 seconds with my first Chinese speaking ESL student in 2005 to realize that English pronunciation can be taught very well using the tones as an aid. If you look at it the right way English has exactly and only the 5 tones of Mandarin, they're just used a little differently than they are in Mandarin.

But intonation and inflection are very different. Tones change the meaning of words individually and together, inflection changes the intention of the phrase but not its meaning. The words all mean the same, and the phrase still mean the same, it just has a different emphasis.

For those wondering he's teaching them a standard set of tones that's fairly universal, and taught in most high schools. The other, more difficult dialects to learn after, are known as "southern alligator fisherman" and "Texas-born Mexican cowboy". As with mandarin compared to, say, Fuzhounese and Cantonese, only the most experienced linguists can understand and speak all 3 fluently.

Tone/stress is how we tell obvious sarcasm or incredulity, questions, and other things that don't transfer well to text. In Chinese, it changes the meaning of the word, but in English, it more often changes the context of the statement. Really? Really. Really. (dubious) Really! (enthusiastic) Really. (annoyed/deadpan) Really! (emphatic) Really? (put out) Really...? (timid/hesitant) Really!! (angry) etc.

A good way of saying this is by calling English a "sung" language. We "sing" to some degree when we speak. This is also why we use so much punctuation when we write, in order note pauses, breathes, questions, interruptions, lists, etc.
@bradbeattie

The example phrase I always used: "I didn't say I stole her wallet." Depending on inflection, the sentence can carry a subtle second message. "I didn't say /I/ stole her wallet" implies I said someone else did.
@Arkylie
@Arkylie 5 жыл бұрын
Oh, yes -- there's actually several distinct possible connotations there: *I* didn't say I stole her wallet. -- Someone else said it. I *didn't* say I stole her wallet. -- stronger protest I didn't *say* I stole her wallet. -- I merely implied it; you can't prove anything. I didn't say *I* stole her wallet. -- Admits that wallet was stolen, implies another person. I didn't say I *stole* her wallet. -- Admits that wallet was taken, implies that it was freely given or that the person "stealing" it had more right to it than the woman in question. I didn't say I stole *her* wallet. -- Admits that I stole a wallet, implies it was someone else's wallet. I didn't say I stole her *wallet* -- Admits that I stole something from her, implies that it was an object other than wallet. But it's all just a basic "stress the word that's out of place" tactic.
