Prosodic Recitation of Chinese and Two-code Cognition of Language
汉语节律朗读和语言双码认知

Prosodic recitation of Chinese can promote the function of both left cerebrum and right cerebrum of the brain. It is a scientific teaching methodology, which can effectively enhance students' ability to comprehend and express in teaching Chinese as a mother tongue or as a foreign language. The recitation based on the sequence of syllables of the text is called single code cognition, while the prosodic recitation based on the integration of both the text ("zili") and context ("ziwai") is called two code cognition. The single code recognition is the basis of prosodic recitation, while deep comprehension of the content of the work is a prerequisite to prosodic recitation. Through reciting by integrating "zili" code and "ziwai" code, it is possible to recover all the original information of the work completely. This theory will develop and promote what is called Chinese recitation teaching methodology.
