英语词重音的参数设定与规则

A Parametric Approach to English Word Stress Rules

关于英语词重音的模式 ,语言学家提出过不同的解释方法。本文讨论重音音步参数的设定和根据重音音步参数的设定而导出的英语词重音规则。本文认为设定重音音步参数的方法深入地解释了英语词重音模式 ,由此方法导出的规则较全面地概括了英语词重音现象。

There are various explanations of English word stress patterns by linguists. This paper discusses the parametric approach to English word stress developed by Hayes and Jensen and English word stress rules derived from these parameters. This paper holds that this approach provides a thorough explanation of English word stress and the rules derived from these parameters can predict the stress of English words quite successfully.
