The fundamental frequency F0 patterns of standard Chinese were examined at both macro (passage) level and micro (period) level in different speech modes using a Laryngograph. The results show that: 1. The more speech effort the speakcr makes the higher are the mean F0, mid F0, and modal F0,in connected speech, and at the samc time the pitch range is expanded; 2. The values of mean F0, mid F0, and modal F0, are different in different speech styles (isolated syllables, isolatcd sentences, and connected speech); 3. The speech rate has apparent influence on golttal waves but no significant innuence on the F0 distribution function; and 4. The closed phase is roughly inverse of F0 in isolated syllables with tones.
