음운학은 말소리를 연구한다는 점에서 우리의 일상생활과 매우 밀접한 관련이 있습니다. 그러나 음운학이라는 학문 분야를 처음 접하는 학생들의 경우 그 기초개념 자체를 매우 낯설어 하는 경우가 많습니다. 그리고 개념이나 이론의 난이도가 높아서가 아니라 낯선느낌이 곧 어렵다는 느낌으로 이어지는 듯이 보입니다. 그런 상황 속에서 이 책은 음운학이 우리의 일상생활과 밀접한 관련이 있다는 것을 자연스럽게 보여주고자 하는 것에 생각의 초점이 맞춰져 있습니다. 그리고 한국어가 모어인 학생들이 중국어 음운 체계를공부하기 위해, 혹은 중국어가 모어인 학생들이 한국어와 중국어의 음운 체계를 대조하고자 할 때 중국어의 음운 체계와 현상을 효과적으로 설명하는 것에도초점이 맞춰져 있습니다. 때문에 필요하다면 양국의 학생들에게 모두 익숙한 영어의 예도 적극적으로 활용하고 있습니다. 책의 부록에는 음운학의 기초 개념을 이해하기 위한 용어가 한국어, 영어, 중국어 순으로 제시되어 있을 뿐만 아니라 한어병음으로 표현되는 중국어 음절의 실제 음가를 IPA로 제시한 표도 첨부되어 있어 연구자들이 보다 용이하게 필요한 정보를 활용할 수 있습니다.
