台語e變調可以分成單獨詞變調以及整句變調，di單獨詞方面有簡單e變調規則可以套用，但整句e變調dor無簡單。一般語言學ui語法層次去討論，本文主要是以統計觀點切入研究，利用馬可夫語言模型(Markov Language Model)來建模台語佛經e注音gah變調。阮使用新竹智觀寺出版e七卷台語佛經作語料，unigram模型e注音變調正確率大約是80%，bi-gram模型是84%；兩個結果是使用交叉驗證e組外測試結果。

Taiwanese is rich in tone sandhi. It is a two-part problem: when to “tone sandhi,” and how to “tone sandhi.” For multi-syllabic words, major rules exist for both parts of the problems. For a complete sentence or a phrase consisting of multiple words, the tone sandhi rules for word may not apply at the last syllable of each word. Traditional approach to this problem is by the syntactic analysis, and this paper studies the tone sandhi problem by statistical approach. Using as corpora the seven volumes of Buddhist Sutra, published and phonetically annotated in Taiwanese by a senior nun, we model the phonetic transcription by syllable-based Markov language model, and study specifically the tone sandhi problem. A unigram model gives 80% correct and bigram model 84%. Both results are computed using seven-fold cross-validation.
