Abstract： This paper studies the disyllabic patterns of four disyllabic dialects in Lan-Yin Mandarin, describes and compares the monosyllabic patterns and disyllabic patterns of the four disyllabic dialects. Then, from an acoustic perspective, a comparative analysis was conducted on the differences in duration, pitch, and intensity between two tone tones and two syllable words within four two tone dialects. The results showed that the duration of two tone tones was significantly longer than that of two syllable words, and there were corresponding differences in pitch and intensity curves. The intensity of two tone tones had a clear valley. Finally, from the perspective of language contact, this paper analyzes the causes of the double tone characteristics of Lan-Yin Mandarin's two tone dialect, and points out the significance of the comparative study of the double syllable words and double tone.

Abstract： This study explores the ability of Chinese adults to detect and manipulate different speech units through speech awareness testing, and discusses the impact of rhyming and basic speech perception units in Chinese populations, as well as the knowledge of Chinese pinyin, on the establishment of speech awareness in Chinese populations. The experiment examined the performance of two groups of adult participants (each consisting of 15 people) with/without Pinyin ability in the local dialect of Duanzhou, Zhaoqing, in seven phonological awareness tests (syllable awareness, vowel detection, tone detection, initial detection, vowel substitution, tone substitution, and initial deletion). The test results showed that both groups of participants had complete syllable awareness; The Pinyin group is proficient in detecting and manipulating tonal units, while non Pinyin groups find it difficult to operate longitudinal tones alone, but have a certain level of detection ability. Among them, detecting vowels is the best, followed by tones, and vowels are the worst; The ability to generate rhyming syllables with a given stimulus without the need to extract vowels from the syllables; Pinyin groups can cut syllables at the sound vowel boundary, while non pinyin groups cannot; The acquisition of Pinyin will change the basic perception mode of Chinese phonetics.

Abstract： With the progress of phonetics technology and research methods, phonemics has gradually developed from the methodology of structuralism to the methodology of cognitive science, and gradually established the "cognitive phonemics". From the perspective of cognitive phonemics, phonetic awareness is the first step in establishing phonemes. Phonemic awareness is usually defined as the phonetic units that can be perceived by native speakers without discriminating meanings. Phonetic awareness can be divided into natural phonetic awareness and unnatural phonetic awareness. Based on these basic concepts, this paper discusses the phonemic system of Chinese in different historical periods: 1) Syllabic phoneme system "Zhiyin"; 2) phonemic system of initials and finals "Fanqie"; 3) Quasi-phonemic system of initials, rhymes and tones "Guang Yun"; 4) Quasi-phonemic system of initials, rhymes and tones "Zhuyin Fuhao"; 5) Phonemic system of segments "Hanyu Pinyin". The study found that the phonemic system of Chinese gradually changed from the phonemic system based on natural phonetic awareness to the phonemic system based on unnatural phonetic awareness. From the point of view of phonetic units, it also gradually changes from syllables to segments. Based on these studies and findings, this paper gives a clear definition of "phonemic system" and "phonetic notation system", and expounds the difference between them. According to the definitions of "phonemic system" and "phonetic notation system", it is found that most of the field investigations and studies on phonemic construction of Chinese-Tibetan languages have established "phonetic notation system" rather than "phonemic system".
