A tone in a contour tone language which remains at approximately an even pitch is called a level tone. Tones which are too short to exhibit much of a contour, typically because of a final plosive consonant , may be called checked tone checked , abrupt, clipped, or stopped tones. Transcription There are three phonetic conventions for transcribing tone contours.

Tone terracing is a type of phonetics phonetic downdrift , where the high or mid tonelinguistics tones , but not the low tone, shift downward in pitch downstep phonetics downstep after certain other tones. The result is that a tone may be realized at a certain pitch over a short stretch of speech, shifts downward and then continues at its new level, then shifts downward again, until the end of the prosodic unit prosodic contour is reached, at which point the pitch reset s. A graph of the change in pitch over time of a particular tone resembles a terrace agriculture terrace . Since the pitch of the low tone remains more or less constant at the lower end of the speaker s vocal range, while the other tones shift downward, the difference in their pitches narrows, eventually obscuring the tones altogether. At this point pitch reset is required if the tone system is to continue functioning. Tone terracing is particularly common in the languages of West Africa , where typically only the low tone causes downstep. However, a somewhat more intricate system is found in the Twi language of Ghana ..., may only start with a high tone or a low tone on its first syllable. As in many languages, a low tone starts out and remains at the bottom of the speaker s range. After a low tone, a subsequent high tone is downstepped.

In this case the low tone is raised from its base value, but the second high tone is still downstepped ... any two adjacent mid tones as well.

Tone patterns zh c p p ngz j ping4 zak1 are common constraints in classical Chinese poetry . The four tones of Middle Chinese level , rising , departing , and entering tones are categorized into level tones and oblique tones. All level tones are level. All other tones are oblique. If tone patterns are used in poetry, the pattern in which level and oblique tones occur in one line is often the inverse of a that of line next to it. For example, in the poem pinyin ch n w ng, Spring View by Du Fu , the tone pattern of the first line is , while that of the second line is font size 1 ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby br ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby ruby rb rb rp rp rt rt rp rp ruby font In poetry in Classical Chinese poetry , the presence or absence of formal tonal constraints regarding tone pattern varies according to the poetic form of a specific poem. Sometimes the rules governing the permissible tone patterns for a poem were quite strict, yet still allowed for a certain amount of liberty and variation, as in the case of regulated verse . In the fixed tone pattern type of verse, poems were written according to preexisting models known as tunes . This was the case with the Ci poetry ci and the Qu poetry qu an individual poem was written so that its tone pattern and line lengths were the same as one of the model types, the poetic variation was in the change in the particular wording of the lyrics.

In linguistics , ductus refers to qualities and characteristics of handwriting writing or speech speaking instantiated in the act of speaking or the flow of writing the text. For instance, in writing, ductus includes the direction, sequencing, and speed with which the strokes making up a character are drawn. Unlike rhythm , ductus is the performative quality that emerges by actuating the metrically arranged language in voice. It is then the specific style and character of the language as it exists within time. While rhythm is tied to tempo, ductus picks up various features of performative language, such as pitch and tone as well. It is for example possible to recognize people by their ductus.

IPA notice In phonetics , contour describes speech sounds which behave as single segment linguistics segments , but which make an internal transition from one quality, place, or manner to another. These sounds may be tonelinguistics tones , vowel s, or consonant s. Many tone language s have Tone contour contour tones , which move from one level to another. For example, Mandarin Chinese has four lexical tones. The high tone is level, without contour the falling tone is a contour from high pitch to low the rising tone a contour from mid pitch to high, and, when spoken in isolation, the low tone takes on a dipping contour, mid to low and then to high pitch. These are transcribed with series of either diacritic s or tone letter s, which with proper font support fuse into an iconic shape IPA ma . In the case of vowels, the word diphthong is used instead of contour . These are vowels that glide from one place of articulation to another, as in English boy and bow. These are officially transcribed with a non syllabic sign under one of the vowel letters IPA b , IPA ba , though when there is no chance of confusion, the diacritic is often left off for simplicity. The most common contour consonants by far are the affricate s , such as English ch and j. These start out as one manner of articulation manner , a plosive , and release into a different manner, a fricative , but behave as single consonants IPA t , IPA d . Other types of transition are attested in consonants, such as prenasalized stop s in many African languages and nasal release in Slavic languages , the retroflex trill IPA r of Toda language Toda , the trilled affricate IPA r of Fijian language Fijian , voice phonetics voicing contours IPA d t , IPA k x in X language X , ref Miller 2003 believes that Xoo IPA d t is phonemically breathy voiced IPA d and that the devoicing is due to a wider glottis ... . class wikitable Types of contour Transition in Example Where found Tone IPA ma China, Southeast ... more details
