“是”字强调焦点句的语调实验研究

The Experimental Study on the Intonation of the Emphatic Sentences with Marked Word “Shi”

结合声学和听觉的方法,本文对现代汉语普通话"是"字强调焦点句语料进行了系统的考察。内容包括:语句调域中词调域和字调域的音高位置、调域跨度;通过与陈述句的比较,分析该强调句式焦点的作用域和作用方式;通过与不带标记词的强调句进行比较,同时结合两种焦点句式的重音感知实验,揭示出标记词"是"对于焦点表达的贡献。研究结果表明:标记词"是"不仅在句法语义上有提示焦点信息的作用,在语音上同样起着强化焦点重音的作用,进而导致其后的焦点信息位于更高的重音等级。本文不但深化了对汉语"是"字强调焦点句的认识,而且为带其他标记词(如"连"、"就"等)的焦点句式的研究提供了实证性的参考。

Using acoustic and auditory methods,we conducted a systematical investigation on the emphatic sentence with marked word ＂shi＂ spoken by 6 beijing native speakers who are speak standard Mandarin Chinese. The study included the following contents：the pitch representations of the phrase range and syllable range in the sentence;Compared with the declarative sentences with natural focus,we got the function domain and function way of the focus;In contrast with the emphatic sentences without ＂shi＂ ,and combining the stress perceptional experiment on the two types of emphatic sentences with and without ＂shi＂, the contribution of ＂shi＂ to the focus was be disclosed.
