指示代词的语音象似性评述

Researches on Phonetic Iconicity of Demonstratives

指示代词语音象似动因主要有两个:语音音响度象似动因和复杂性象似动因。元音、辅音和声调的象似主要由音响度象似动因驱动,拉长声音或重音、复杂音节结构和重叠表远指主要由复杂性象似动因驱动。音响度象似与复杂性象似趋于一致,就会增强指示代词的象似性,音响度象似与复杂性象似产生竞争,就会减损指示代词的象似性。

There are two main phonetic iconicity motivations in demonstratives： sonority hierarchy iconicity motivation and complexity iconicity motivation. The iconicity of vowel, con- sonant and tone are driven mainly by the sonority hierarchy iconicity motivation, while prolonging the voices or stress, complex syllables and reduplications are driven by the complexi- ty iconicity motivation. When sonority hierarchy is in concord with complexity iconicity, it may enhance the iconicity of the demonstrastives, when sonority hierarchy is in discord with complexity iconicity, it may weaken the iconicity of demonstratives.
