"Beijing phonetic is regarded as the standard pronunciation and the basic dialect is the dialect of the northern part of the country."
Kan iemand nog eens in zijn woorden uitleggen wat het daadwerkelijke verschil is tussen pronunciation en dialect?
Om de een of andere reden wil het kwartje niet vallen.
Ik heb dit wel op andere sites gezien:
"<b>Pronunciation refers to the production of phonemes </b>(individual sounds). Speakers of a language share conventions whereby meaning is attributed to strings of phonemes. English speakers use the phonemes /t/, /e/, /b/ and /l/ to produce the word “table”. These phonemes must be appropriately distinguished from other similar sounds (eg. t / d or b / p) in order for speakers to understand eachother.
<b>Accent refers to the way each phoneme is realized</b>, ie. how each of the characteristics making up the phoneme is executed within the tolerable variation that the language generally allows. For instance, the amount of voicing (vocal cord vibrations) that makes a t sound like a d will vary from place to place and from speaker to speaker (accent), but all English speakers distinguish the two phonemes (pronunciation). If we use the word “table” as an example again, speakers of English from different regions may exhibit various degrees of aspiration after the /t/, the /e/ may be more or less diphthongized and may be longer or shorter, the level of voicing of the /b/ can vary, and the /l/ may be more or less retroflex, voiced or audible. These small variations can occur randomly or they can be shared by speakers of a given region, area, age, gender, social class, culture, etc."
"<b>Pronunciation</b> is simply the way one produces sounds, individual sounds or combinations of sounds. It can refer to an individual's exact manner of producing a certain sound or a chain of sounds (a word, for instance); but it can also refer to a standard way of producing a certain sound in a certain language.
<b>Accent</b> is the way of pronouncing words and sentences that somehow gives away where you are from. This is due to small deviations and errors in pronunciation, and because it's quite difficult to mimic a native pronunciation in a foreign language. When I speak English, you can certainly hear that I'm not a native speaker. You might hear that my pronunciation is a little bit off, in some cases perhaps even wrong (I hope not, haha), so you can conclude I'm from somewhere else. Maybe you can even hear zat I heff a Germen eksent.
In the case of English, an accent is also the way different people from different places in the US speak (otherwise this is usually called a dialect or regional coloring). When someone has a Boston accent, they pronounce their consonants and vowels in a way typical for Bostoners. And it's not always just about consonants and vowels, it can be intonation and prosody as well."
Maar, zoals ik al zei, om de een of andere reden wil het kwartje niet vallen. Hoe verschilt de Beijing pronunciation van het noordelijk dialect in China?
Dankje.
