  • Abstract
    In this paper, the average intensity and the effect of focus on it for disyllabic words in Chinese is analyzed. It is found that, the average intensity of rhyme in the first syllable is comparatively great, while for the onset, due to intervocalic voicing, that in the second syllable is great. Focus has great effect on intensity. Analysis shows that, compared to the onset and the first syllable, the effect on the rhyme and on the second syllable is great.
