汉语节奏的二三律

The Binary,Triple Time in the Chinese Rhythm

笔者认为“节奏”是音乐术语，是一种声音现象，与文字无关。本文借用音乐中的有关理论考察了汉语的节奏现象，发现汉语节奏不仅普遍存在于书面语、口语叙述、口语会话中，而且节奏单位的时长均为两个或三个标准时长，个别的是一个标准时长。用音乐术语来说，节奏单位的节拍除个别外，均为两拍或三拍。这是汉语节奏特有的一个规律。

The writer considers that 'Rhythm'is musical terminology,and is a kind of sound phenomenon,but is not related to letters. The writer,borrowing the theory of rhythm related to the music,has studied the phenomena of the Chinese rhythm, and has discovered that the Chinese rhythm can be in existence in the written Chinese,the narration of collequial Chinese,the conversation of colloquial Chinese,in addition that the time length of the rhythmic units is evenly made up of two or three standard time length,and the exeption is one standard time length. Speaking in musical terminology,the beat of the rhythmic units is evenly made up of the binary, triple the with the exeption of particular case. This is a principle peculiar to the Chinese rhythm.
