中国日语学习者发话焦点的语音考察

A Phonetic Study of “Focus” in the Utterances of Chinese Learners of Japanese

人的发话中多有重点。当我们说一句话时,句中往往有一部分是我们相对更想向听话人突出表达其重要性的,我们把这个部分称为发话中的焦点。本文将探索日语和汉语焦点句的发话中实现焦点效果的语音手段,并对两者进行比较。本文从日语母语者和汉语母语者的高级日语学习者的话语中收集语音数据,通过对其考察以及互相比较可以看出,学习者在日语发话中存在以下倾向:为实现焦点而使用的音高手段略有不足,过度依赖音长手段,使用的语音手段受到母语的影响。

Emphasis exists in our utterances. In a sentence, there usually consists a certain part which we would like to stress, and this certain part is referred to as ＂focus＂. This paper aims to explore the different devices used in achieving ＂focus＂ effect in both Chinese and Japanese utterances. Probing into data from native Japanese speakers and advanced Chinese learners of Japanese, we found that, compared with native speakers, Japanese learners showed the following tendencies： less pitch device to achieve focus effect, over-using duration, and influence from their native language Chinese when trying to achieve focus effect.
