Japanese
Etymology
Compound of (heiban, "flat; monotone") + ? (gata, "type")
Pronunciation
Noun
??? o (heiban-gata)
- (phonetics) monotone type:
- The most common pitch accent pattern in "standard" Japanese or ??? (hy?jungo), as used in the mass media, where no syllable is accented: the first syllable has a low pitch and all subsequent syllables have a higher, gradually lowering pitch.
Usage notes
All accent patterns in Japanese may be described as either (heiban-shiki) or ? (kifuku-shiki). While ? (kifuku-shiki) is further divided into ? (atamadaka-gata), (nakadaka-gata), and ? (odaka-gata), there are no subcategories to (heiban-shiki). When contrasting with ? (atamadaka-gata), (nakadaka-gata), or ? (odaka-gata), it is customary to use the word (heiban-gata) to avoid the inconsistency of comparing ? (-gata) with ? (-shiki).
