Abstract

This paper uses the computer BIOPAC Systems tool to analyze Shanghai dialect and Mandarin which refers to the relationship between prosody and respiration in reading fable, the conclusion are as follows: 1) the mean of respiratory parameters and respiratory units was positively related, and respiration curve on Shanghai dialect which shows the characteristics of small ups and downs is different from the Mandarin curve; 2) the reset of respiration has relationship with mute segment, and the occurrence of reset breathing place must have a quiet period, while the opposite does not happen; 3) on the situation of fable literary style with flexible feature, the text of the proficiency can significantly increase the complexity of the respiration curve, showing a more special features such as “breathless” pronunciation.
