Abstract :
Summary form only given. Based on the research method of intonation pattern and intonation undulating scale, this paper has done a quantitative analysis of the pitch counter features of the standard Uyghur exclamatory statements for the first time. First of all, we have selected the four speakers according to their age and other related information, and recording their voices and used the COOL EDIT PRO2.0 and PRAAT software for tagging and segmenting, then investigate pitch performance of statement transfer domain and tone group transfer domain. The results show that the tone contours of exclamatory sentences always steps down from begin to end of the statement. Moreover, there are slightly rising phenomena at the end of the exclamatory statement, and it is just the obvious feature of exclamatory statements in Uyghur language.
