Definition
连声 is an adverb meaning 'repeatedly (of sounds or words)' — it emphasizes that a vocal action (like speaking, thanking, coughing, or calling) happens back-to-back without pause. It always comes directly before the verb it modifies, and the verb is typically related to producing sound. Unlike 'fǎn fù 反复', which can describe any repeated action, 连声 is specifically about continuous utterance or sound.
adv.
