陈述语气的语气词实验分析

Experimental Analysis on Modal Particles of Declarative Moods

陈述语气在陈述事件时,有时会带有某种感情色彩,这种感情的表达往往借助于句末的语气词。通过实验分析我们发现,这些语气词的韵律特征大都会随所表达语气的不同发生相应变化,包括音高、时长和能量,其中音高和时长的变化比较稳定,能量则相对不太稳定。句末语气词可以以不同的韵律特征帮助表达不同的语气,具有表达语气的作用。不过,并不是所有语气词的韵律特征都有这个作用。

Declarative moods sometimes bear some emotions in stating events. This emotive expression often recurs to modal particles in the end of the sentence. Throush experimental analysis, we find that prosodic features of the modal particles often will change with different moods, including pitch, duration and energy. The changes of pitch and duration are more stable and those of energy are not. Modal particles in the end of the sentence may help expressing different moods with different prosodic features. But not all prosodic features of modal particles can express moods.
