	critique of the GR
		However, Chao continues to say that tones, though also being suprasegmental phonemes, must be treated as segmental phonemes, because in tonal languages they are lexical, that is, altering tone usually changes the meaning, whereas other prosodic features, such as stress and intonation, are not lexical, at least not that much:
		As Chao says, the phonemes occur one after another in temporal succession, and the tones are not part of it.
		In his A Grammar of Spoken Chinese (1968a), Ruen Ren Chao defines polysyllabic words and compounds in the Chinese language, and renders the examples with both hanzi and GR writing.

	Yuen Ren Chao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yuen Ren Chao (Simplified Chinese: 赵元任; Traditional Chinese: 趙元任; pinyin: Zhào Yuánrèn; Wade-Giles: Chao Yüan-jen; Gwoyeu Romatzyh: Jaw Yuanrenn) (November 3, 1892 - February 25, 1982) was a Chinese linguist and amateur composer who shaped Gwoyeu Romatzyh and the scientific studies, especially the phonology, of the Chinese language.
		He was married to the physician Buwei Yang Chao (née Yang Buwei; Simplified Chinese: 杨步伟; Traditional Chinese: 楊步偉; pinyin: Yáng Bùwěi), perhaps best known as author of How to Cook and Eat in Chinese, a veritable treatise on Chinese cuisine (Asia Press, from the John Day Company), first published in 1945.
		His daughter Rulan Chao Pian (Simplified Chinese: 赵如兰; Traditional Chinese: 趙如蘭; pinyin: Zhào Rúlán), born in 1922, is Professor Emerita of East Asian Studies and Music at Harvard.

	Guide to Gwoyeu Romatzyh
		This presentation is based on material in Yuen Ren Chao's Mandarin Primer and Grammar of Spoken Chinese.
		In Y.R.Chao's own writings, certain common morphemes appearing in the neutral tone are often written without vowels: for instance, sh for.shy, the copula; g for.ge, the common measure word; d for.de, the possessive particle; etc. These are not standard today, with the exception of the noun suffix tz for.tzy.
		Chao tended to indicate the underlying tones of neutral syllables, even though those underlying tones could not be heard.

		Ren had long wished to pursue studies in the West, as had Yang Xingfo, seven years Ren's junior, who had studied at the same middle school in Shanghai that Ren and Hu Shi had attended before becoming an aid for Sun in Nanjing.
		Given their revolutionary background, it is not surprising that Ren and Yang were leading instigators for the Science Society: the initial meeting on the matter was held in Ren's room, and Yang drafted the charter for the organization and Kexue.
		Drafted by Ren Hongjun based on discussions with leaders of the society, it explained that the purpose of the declaration was to summarize public opinion from many quarters and to provide guidance for the government.

		Chao's husband was Yuen Ren Chao (1892-1982), a famous linguist.
		He is known particularly for his work on Chinese dialects, to which the Yuen Ren Society is devoted.
		Chao was also known for the romanization of Chinese that he promoted, the Gwoyeu Romatzyh, whose distinguishing feature is that it indicates tone by changes in the letters used, not by diacritics.

		Chao's phonemicist slogan "pronounce same things the same, and different things different", is one I'd love to enforce on reconstructors of archaic Chinese.
		Chao believed that "correct pronunciation" was not terribly important, as long as you mispronounced the same phoneme the same way every time.

	Yuen Ren Society
		The Yuen Ren Society is an independent scholarly group dedicated to the study of Chinese dialects, especially through field-work, and also to the study of Chinese historical linguistics and its relationship to dialectology.
		The Society takes its name from Yuen Ren Chao (1892-1982), the first Chinese linguist to practice Western dialect field-methods seriously.
		The name Yuen Ren also means "primary responsibility", which the Society thinks should remind us that collecting data is the first duty of a linguist.

		As the text for Lesson 20 of his Mandarin Primer, Yuen Ren Chao translated the poem The Walrus and the Carpenter, which is part of Chapter IV of Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

		The romanization is in "National Roman Characters" Gwoyeu Romatzyh (Kuo-yu Lo-ma Tzu/Guoyu Loma Zi), invented by the famous Chinese linguist Chao Yuen-ren (in the twenties of the last century) or at least most closely associated with his name.
		Additionally, although I didn't calculate a ratio comparing the necessary key-strokes for a given text in Pinyin and Gwoyeu Romatzyh to provide the same tonal information, I'd bet that GR will be the winner!
		Chao Yuen-ren proved to be a real ingenious and inventive scholar dedicated to linguistic "fieldwork" on phonology.
