关于声学语音学研究方法的几个问题

A Few Problems Concerning Methodology for Acoustic Phonetics

语音学的方法论大致体现为主观性与客观性两大类。随着语音学研究的深入发展,对声学语音学研究方法的客观性、实证性的要求也越来越高。另外,由于声学分析技术的发展和计算机的普及,对语音的物理属性的研究也越来越受到研究者的关注。但是,声学语音学研究所面临的方法问题依然是深刻的。声学语音学研究的是作为语言使用者的"人"发出的"音",因此在分析资料的定夺、发音人的选定、分析条件的设定以及实验结果的考察等一系列环节中始终应该"以人为尊"、"以音为本"。

The methodology of phonetics is generally divided into two categories: subjective and objective. Due to the further development of the studies of phonetics, the objectiveness and demonstrative property of the methodologyof acoustic phonetics are increasingly emphasized. As a new developing point of modern phonetics, studies on the physical property of sound is paid much more attention by researchers on account of the technological development of acoustic analysis and popularization of computer. However, methodological problems that are faced with the acoustic phonetics are also crucial. The acoustic phonetics studies 'sound' by 'speaker' who is user of language. Therefore, the studies should be done on the basis of the principle called 'speaker is principal' and 'sound is primary' in all links, including selection of sources, informants, analysis ways, as well as examination into analyzed results.
