MJIN,
Some syllables in Chinese are toneless ( disregarding the tones of the characters
they represent) and are pronounced light and short. These syllables are called neutra-
Iized tones or neutral tones. The pitch of a neutral tone is affected by the tone of the
preceding syllable, e. B.

Note: In transcription neutral tones do not carry any tone-indicators.

A 3rd-tone syllable becomes a half 3rd tone when it is immediately followed by a

lst, 2nd, 4th or neutral tone syllables, i. e. only the first half (the falling part) of
.15.
the tone is articulated, and is immediately followed by the next syllable. For examples; 4 #Ei*rE
