带“呢”句子的韵律特征分析

Analysis of prosodic features of sentences with the particle ne(呢)

本文基于语料库选取带"呢"的191个句子,以陈述句为参照,对特指问、选择问、反问、感叹和顿歇五种类型,从音高、时长和音强三方面进行对比分析。研究表明:1)"呢"本身对类型区分贡献不大,类型间音高、时长上都没有显著差异,唯有顿歇类在句内音强上比较特殊。2)"呢"前音节时长区别不明显,类型间在音高和音强上呈连续统性,渐变顺序为:陈述句大幅下降,选择问和特指问降幅略减,感叹句和反问句不降反升。

Based on 191 sentences with the particle ne( 呢) from corpus, this paper compares content questions,alternative questions, rhetorical questions, exclamatory sentences and pause types in aspect of pitch, duration and intensity with declarative sentences as the reference. The results show that:( 1) Ne barely contributes to differentiating sentence types, and no significant differences are found between the various types on pitch and duration; whereas only the pause types are particular in intensity for their clause-internal status;( 2) the duration differences of syllables before ne are not obvious, and a continuum between the various types are presented in pitch and intensity. The gradient order is: falling sharply in declarative sentences, falling slightly in alternative and content questions, but rising in exclamatory sentences and rhetorical questions on the contrary.
