Running-Standing or Sandhi'ed-Default 該是「動調及靜調」還是「變調及本調」 - tadpolenese. Sanskrit saṁdhi, literally, placing together Modification of the sound of a morpheme (as a word or affix) conditioned by syntactic context in which it is uttered (as pronunciation of -ed as \\d\\ in glazed and as \\t\\ in paced or occurrence of a in a cow and of an in an old cow) This means that a given syllable has some default pronunciation (本調), but that in some particular situations, the default pronunciation undergoes some change (變調).
Problem number one: Default tone's frequency is too low Unfortunately, Hoklo's stereotonic dichotomy does not fit this definition. First of all, in a typical colloquial speech, or written text, the so-called sandhi'ed tones are used by more than 70% of the syllables, while the so-called default tones are used by less than 30% of the syllables.
