汉语状中结构的韵律模式考察

A Survey on the Prosodic Pattern of Mandarin Adverbial-Head Construction

汉语状中结构的韵律模式展现了比动宾结构和定中结构更为复杂的格局,因而研究难度更大。本文着重考察了由副词作状语的状中结构的韵律模式,我们将所考察的副词分成三类,分别为只能修饰双音节谓词的a类、只能修饰单音节谓词的b类和既能修饰双音节也能修饰单音节谓词的c类。我们认为2+2式和1+1式是状中结构的基本韵律模式,并依据深重原则和左起音步两条规则进行分析。我们最终认为:由于状中结构的信息焦点表达不明,造成其韵律模式复杂,难以预测。

This paper makes an overall survey on the prosodic patterns of Mandarin adverbial head construction, which is more complex and complicate than other common Mandarin grammatical constructions. According to the syllable numbers of the modified predicates, three types of adverbs are classified out： Type A, which could only modify disyllabic predicates,type B, which could only modify monosyllabic predicates, and type C, which could modify both disyllabic and monosyllabic predicates. It is found out that ＂2 ＋ 2＂ and ＂1 ＋ 1＂ are the basic prosodic patterns of mandarin ad verbialhead construction. The depth stress principle and ＂left to right＂ foot formation rule could provide a preliminary analysis on such situation. And finally, this paper suggests that the unclear ness in the representation of the information focus causes the prosodic pattern of Mandarin adverbial head construction to be complex and hard to be predicted.
