具有焦点标记作用的“是”字句重音分布研究

本研究以汉语中标记焦点的结构“是…XP…]]”为研究对象,通过声学和感知实验,系统地考察了这一句式所标记的焦点成分的重音位置及其声学表现。实验结果显示,该句式所标记的焦点位置,以韵律词为单位,音高的音域被整体拉大,后面的成分的音阶被陆续压低,被标记的焦点成分后面通常存在中间短语边界,而在第二个焦点标记前面,通常有语调短语边界。以实验结果为基础,本研究进一步讨论了语法学界争论较多的,关于焦点和重音关系的问题,研究指出,汉语中有标记的焦点位置通常有重音分布,有重音的位置一般伴有语调(音高音域)的变化,但重音和语调的变化不是确定焦点位置的依据。

Accents Distribution in the Focus-Marking Shi Construction

Through the acoustic and perceptual experiments,the presented study systematically investigates the phonetic realization and accents distribution of the typical focus-marking construction "shi" in Chinese.Results of experiments demonstrate that the pitch range of the under-focus position is enlarged significantly and the pitch registers of the following syllables are compressed successively;further,there contains an inmediate phrase boundary after the marked focus and an intonation phrase boudary before th...
