英语节奏研究的成功给我们许多启示,其中,找到适合自己的节奏支点展开研究是至关重要的。本文首先从汉语词重音的论争和汉语重音同英语重音的区别两个角度进行探讨,认为重音不是汉语的节奏支点。然后,本文从诗歌格律的研究中找到了汉语的节奏支点候选者——停延,并通过自然语言的验证而确定停延是现代汉语的节奏支点。

The finding is that stresses are not the rhythmic keys of Chinese. The author finds ＂break＂ a possible candidate for key of the Chinese language through a study of the rhythmic meters in poetry. And a test on the spoken Chinese verifies this hypothesis.
