歧义结构切分中的潜在韵律作用

The Underlying Metrical Operation in the Segmentation of Ambiguous Structures

本文通过对汉语歧义结构的默读研究,试图揭示在汉语语句处理中句法语义与韵律节奏的内在关系。当我们默读汉语歧义语料时,它总是给我们呈示出语音特征与韵律节奏之间的内在联系,这种联系与句法结构密切相关。在汉语中,无意识的基频改变、停顿位置的变更以及停顿时长的展缩等均与此密切相关。这些因素形成了语音结构切分中的一系列重要韵律特点,它们与语义理解也密切相关。

By studying the subvocal interpretation of Chinese ambiguous structures,the paper aims to demonstrate the intrinsic relations between syntax and rhythm in Chinese sentence processing.When the subvocal processing is conducted upon the established corpus,it clarifies the inherent relationship between the phonetic feature and rhythmical or metrical structure,which deals with sentence structures.In Chinese,a corresponding relationship can be seen between the syntactic structure and many metrical elements such as the unconscious variation of F0,the switch of the pause location and the diversion of pause time.All these elements constitute a series of important phonetic characteristics in the segmentation of syntactic structure,which are closely related to the semantic understanding.
