EN

The aim of the paper is to present an interdisciplinary project involving comparative analysis of phonetic systems of Hindi, Mandarin Chinese and Polish. The analysis is conducted with the use of computational tools designed purposely for the needs of phonetic grammar. The basic potential of the computer application and the algorithms employed in it are briefly discussed. The application is intended to enable a uniform description and comparative analysis of many languages. In the initial stage the languages considered are Polish, Chinese and Hindi. The focus of this paper is on Mandarin Chinese. The basic concept of phonetic grammar is introduced, and some specific problems which Chinese presents to the theoretical framework are addressed.
