1. Orthodoxy

The Basic Rules for Orthography of Chinese Pinyin (GB/T 16159-2012) was published and implemented in 2012, aiming to standardize the spelling and writing format of Chinese Pinyin. This rule applies to fields such as cultural education, editing and publishing, and Chinese information processing, establishing spelling rules for words. It plays an important role in promoting the national common language and script, improving education levels, and advancing the informatization process. According to the Orthodoxy, word segmentation and linking should be based on words, taking into account phonetics, semantics, and spelling length, and following the rules of grammatical parts of speech for word segmentation and linking. The spelling of monosyllabic words is simple and clear, while polysyllabic words need to be written word by word, such as "g ā ngti ě" (steel), "zh ò ngsh ì" (emphasis), etc. In addition, there are clear explanations for the spelling of personal and place names, such as "Zh ū g ě K ǒ ngm í ng" (Zhuge Kongming) and "B ě ij ī ng Sh ì" (Beijing).

From separation to integration?

Explored the grammar issues of Chinese Pinyin word segmentation and linking, especially for word segmentation and linking of non exclusive components. The "Orthodoxy" provides guidelines for word segmentation and linking, involving pre - and post components, monosyllabic directional words, dynamic particles, structural particles, mood particles, and complements. The preceding and following components are usually written together, while directional and mood particles are written separately. The separation or linking of structural particles and complements depends on the number of syllables and prosodic factors. Although the provisions of the "Orthodoxy" are clear, there are two phenomena worth pondering: first, whether there is a need for a unified approach to the spelling of dynamic particles and partially structured particles as subordinate components; The second is the role of prosodic factors in word segmentation and linking, and how it affects the accurate reflection of grammatical features.

3 Phenomena of Linguistic Literature

Explored the grammatical phenomenon of Chinese Pinyin word segmentation and linking in linguistic English academic journals. The "Zhengmei" points out that the principle of participle linking is applicable to fields such as culture, education, editing, and publishing. In English academic journals, non English examples are usually represented using three line notation: original text, word by word translation, and English translation. For non Latin alphabet languages, they need to be transcribed into the International Phonetic Alphabet or Standard Pinyin System. Hanyu Pinyin is the authoritative standard for transcribing Chinese examples in English academic journals, especially influential in the international academic community. The Journal of Chinese Linguistics requires Chinese Pinyin examples to include tones. However, the manuscript examples of linguistic English academic journals often do not specify the criteria for word segmentation and linking, and different authors have different labeling methods for Chinese Pinyin word segmentation and linking, lacking a unified standard. However, the academic community has developed some "biased" practices towards Chinese Pinyin word segmentation and linking, which may become a "convention".

4 Suggestions

Two suggestions are proposed for Chinese Pinyin word segmentation and linking: firstly, the rules for word segmentation and linking should be unified to ensure that they reflect the characteristics of Chinese grammar, avoid interference from prosodic factors, and use grammatical parts of speech as the basis for segmentation. Secondly, it is recommended to increase the use of connection numbers in word segmentation and writing to distinguish between basic rules and alternative rules. Specific suggestions include: the following components such as dynamic particles and some structural particles should be written separately; The "de" after the modal particle and attributive should be written separately; Additional components and infixes are marked with connection numbers. In addition, it is advocated to produce an English version of "Zhengmei" to promote the standardization and dissemination of Chinese Pinyin word segmentation and writing in the international academic community.

5 Conclusion

The purpose of "Zhengmei" is to establish the rules for Chinese Pinyin word segmentation and linking. The article explores the issue of Chinese non exclusive component word segmentation and linking, analyzes the use of Chinese Pinyin in international academic English literature, and proposes suggestions for improvement. Suggest writing words separately, compound words should be connected in principle, and linking numbers can be used as a flexible rule when necessary. Additional and parallel components are labeled with connection numbers. Use connection numbers appropriately to expand their functionality. I hope the suggestions can promote the standardization of Chinese Pinyin in the academic community, facilitate its international dissemination and application, and deepen academic and cultural exchanges.
