Clicks in a Chinese nursery rhyme
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2002
Abstract
This paper reports on the use of nasalized post-alveolar clicks in a special version of a Chinese nursery rhyme, used in two different so-called dialect areas in China. In one, initial velar nasals are replaced with the clicks, while in Mandarin the nasalized clicks are inserted at the beginning of words with zero initials.
