I like that aspect, too.

I read this in one of my Chinese Linguistics books:

語音跟聲音的不同，在於範圍的大小，聲音的範圍大，語音的範圍小。（囯音及語言運用，三民書局專用書）

Thus, i guess sheng1yin1 simply refers to sound in general and yu3yin1 refers to speech sounds. Sound would therefore encompass speech sound, making speech sound a more narrow word, one which correlates loosely with voice. The paragraph goes on to say that "the study of sound" belongs to physics and the study of speech sound is called phonetics （語音學）.

Some fun vocab. for the linguists among us:

聲學語音學 acoustic phonetics

發音語音學 articulatory phonetics

聽覺語音學 auditory phonetics

]]> <![CDATA[By: jennyzhu]]> While being or aspiring to be in a band is a rite of passage for college students in the States, perfecting card game skills is essential to college life in China.

On this note, if you are a college student who happens to like music and learn Chinese at the same time, you are very likely to be a TV star in China. There is a ' Chinese Proficiency Contest for College Students' going on in China.And it's in the form of a TV talent show where contestants sing Chinese folk or pop songs or perform crosstalk.

This clip is compilation of auditioning tapes. Pretty fun.
