再论汉语的特质——兼议汉英语韵律的差异

Rediscussing the Innate Quality of Chinese Language and Contrasting the Differences of Rhythm Between Chinese and English

对汉语特质的研究,论者多从语法角度考察汉语异于西语的特性。立足于语言的音韵动力,从言语运用中的"韵律"切入,汉语特质在语文中的具体表现可有四个方面:1)言语运行的动力;2)汉语音节的自主性;3)音步结构的成词性;4)语流停延的基础性。而且汉语所独有由音高、音长所决定的平仄也体现了其迥异特质。

For over a century since the publication of Ma Shi Wen Tong,the research of characteristic of Chinese language concentrates on syntax,but people do not pay more attention to rhythm.This paper discusses the following：1）the dynamics of discourse coherence;2） the activity of monosyllables;3） the lexicality of foot structure;4） the basis of pausing and conjunction.
