  • PASSING on CHINESE DANCE to FUTURE GENERATIONS Lorita Leung from Her Early Life in Shanghai and North Korea in the 1950S, Through
    PASSING ON CHINESE DANCE TO FUTURE GENERATIONS Lorita Leung From her early life in Shanghai and North Korea in the 1950s, through her years in Hong Kong in the 1960s, to her time in Canada where she emigrated to in the 1970s and still resides today, Lorita Leung has embraced a lifelong career in dance. She received ballet training at a young age and later performed Chinese dance in the army song and dance troupe, and brought her knowledge and skills to Hong Kong’s film and TV industries when she moved to the city. During her seven years in Hong Kong, Leung’s career straddled film and TV; she participated in the choreography of more than a dozen musical films, and she worked as the choreographer for Rediffusion Television’s popular variety show. She was also a dance teacher to many actors and film stars. While Hong Kong’s film and TV industries did not afford her the opportunity to live out her ideal life, Leung fulfilled her dreams of promoting Chinese dance in Canada. In the 1970s she established the Lorita Leung Dance Academy in Vancouver, and subsequently launched classes for the Beijing Dance Academy Graded Chinese Dance Examination. Today, Leung runs the school together with her daughter, as she believes that dance as a part of general education is key to dance being passed down to future generations. 106 When Dance Speaks Lorita Leung 107 young, I was raised by their younger sisters.

  • Effects of Hanyu Pinyin on the Pronunciation of Learners of Chinese As a Foreign Language
    Bassetti, B. (2007). Effects of hanyu pinyin on the pronunciation of learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language. In A. Guder, Jiang, X. and Wan, Y. (eds.), The Cognition, Learning and Teaching of Chinese Characters (pp. 156-179). Beijing: Beijing Language and Culture University Press. Effects of hanyu pinyin on the pronunciation of learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language Benedetta Bassetti Birkbeck, University of London Abstract This paper provides evidence that the hanyu pinyin representation of the phonology of Chinese affects the production of Chinese phonology in instructed learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language. Pinyin generally has a one-to-one correspondence between graphemes and phonemes, but its transcription of some Chinese rimes does not represent the main vowel. As a consequence, learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language have non-target-like phonological representations of Chinese rimes, which in turn lead to non-target-like pronunciations. A hanzi reading-aloud task was used to elicit syllables containing the three rimes /iou/, /uei/ and /uən/ from final-year CFL students. Results show that learners often delete the vowels that are not represented in the pinyin transcription, but they produce the same vowels in the same rimes when the pinyin transcription represents them. It is concluded that the pinyin orthographic input interacts with the phonological input in shaping the phonological representations and pronunciation of Chinese syllables in intermediate as well as beginner CFL learners. Language teachers should therefore be aware of the effects of the pinyin orthography. 摘要 本篇论文论证了汉语拼音对外国学习者的汉语发音产生影响的问题。汉语拼音通常 是字母与音位一一对应的,但有一些汉语韵尾的主要元音在汉语拼音中没有得到准确的 表示,因此,学习汉语的外国学习者接触到的是不准确表示汉语发音的书写形式,这些 书写形式会导致他们出现非目标的发音。本研究要求学习汉语的中级阶段的外国学生大 声朗读包含/iou/, /uei/ 或 /uən/ 韵尾的汉字。结果显示,在汉语拼音中得不到表示 的元音经常被学生遗漏,反之,在汉语拼音中得到表示的元音,学生的发音就会出现此 元音。本研究的结论是,在中级、初级学习者掌握汉语音节的书写形式和发音的过程 中,汉语拼音的输入会影响发音。因此汉语教师应当对汉语拼音的这一作用有所认识。 1.

(Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability) Stock Code: 00511 ANNOUNCEMENT OF 2017 ANNUAL RESULTS BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS • 2017 was one of the toughest years in the last decade of the Company. Our businesses were challenged on many fronts, including a lackluster advertising market in Hong Kong and the global digital revolution that causes significant disruption to many conventional business models. • As the retail sales slightly improved, income from advertisers under Hong Kong TV broadcasting stabilised during 2017 at HK$2,459 million (2016: HK$2,458 million), after a consecutive two-year decline since 2014. • Three drama serials were successfully co-produced with Tencent and iQiyi. These drama serials generated significant viewerships in both Hong Kong and Mainland China and provided higher production budgets to the Company. • Major progress has been made in transformation from a terrestrial TV-based broadcaster to a digital player with substantial online distribution networks in Hong Kong and overseas. The Group now possesses a complete spectrum of media platforms, spanning terrestrial TV, OTT services and online social media in Hong Kong, and is well-positioned to capture digital opportunities. • The number of users of myTV SUPER OTT service continued its rapid growth during 2017, and had exceeded 5.8 million to-date.
