Well yes, but a blind man on a galloping horse could see that link wasn't complete and just copy and paste it, which takes only slightly more effort than clicking it. Nevermind :)

http://ir.lib.sfu.ca/bitstream/1892/815 ... 745755.pdf

A PhD thesis with a discussin of lots of different systems for analysing tone and tonogenesis, and a proposal for a new one. A slightly old paper (80s), so maybe the new proposal is now old-hat, but still interesting and useful.

Works perfectly for me, opened on Linux with Okular.

EDIT: Actually, it opens but the scanned text is too large and overflows the pages.

Well that's odd. I'll see if I can't find a better PDF.

This site http://www.chinese-forums.com/vocabulary/ is quite good. It is a searchable database of vocabulary items from the first 4 levels of the HSK (the standard exam of Chinese proficiency). You can search based on all kinds of criteria: the tone patterns of the words (ie all the words which are third tone followed by first tone), all the words involving a certain character (you can specify further where in the word the character appears, and what tones the other characters are).

I just found this while googling:

http://www.cicipu.org/papers/gender_and ... course.pdf

I've not read it yet, so I don't know how good/interesting/reputable it is, but the contents page looks pretty interesting at least.

I just read the parts before the ToC; and it looks interesting to me, too.
