摘要
关于汉语词重音系统的研究和争议有很多,至今难有定论。本文以Hayes(1981,1989,1995)的重音理论为基础,结合汉语词重音的声学表现,在前人研究的启发下,尝试对汉语的词重音系统作如下构建:1)音步类型采用莫拉左重步(moraic trochee);2)主重音落在左末端(EndRuleInitial);3)音步以上层面形成双拍(bounded)单词结构。这一分析可以解释汉语词显著的双音节现象,同时也能说明为什么汉语词两个普通字之间的相对轻重差别甚微,人耳很难辨别。
In the past several decades, much research has been done on the Chinese word stress system, but no consensus has been reached thus far. Based on Hayes’(1981, 1989, 1995) theory of stress and enlightened by the results of previous studies, this paper argues that the Chinese word stress system can be construed as the construction of moraic trochees, which is followed by the End Rule Initial and a bounded word structure above the level of the feet. This conceptualization can explain why Chinese words are basically disyllabic and why the relative prominence of one syllable over the other in a Chinese disyllabic word is often undistinguishable to the human ear. These two issues have puzzled researchers for a long time.
