现代日语口语和歌曲中的音节发音比较研究--以「す」「つ」的元音无声化现象为例

Comparative Studies on the Pronunciation of Syllables in Modren Spoken Japanese and Japanese Songs--Taking the Vowel Reduction of「す」「つ」as Examples

现代日语口语和歌曲中的音节发音存在着一定的差异,比如,假名音节「す」「つ」在口语中应当发生元音无声化的地方,在歌曲中却常常不出现无声化现象。针对这一现象,通过语音学软件Praat,将语音信号数字化并对其进行分析,证实了这些差异的存在及其表现形式。其可能原因可以从语言学与声乐学两个角度解释:发音速度对元音无声化发生的概率有较大影响;歌曲的旋律变化代替了原本口语中发音的声调变化,声调核不再存在;口语发音与歌唱时的发音特点存在差异以及歌手的个性化处理。

The pronunciation of kana in modren Japanese and Japanese songs have certain differences.For example,the vowels of kana「す」「つ」should be reduced in daily language in some cases,while in Japanese songs,it seldom happens.Digitize the voice signals by using the phonetist software——Praat,and the digitized voice signals substantiated these diffiences.The possible reasons can be explained from perspectives of linguistics and musicology:The speed of pronunciation has a great effect on the probability of kanas’vowel reduction;The change of melody took the place of the change of tone;The peculiarity of spoken language and singing are different;The personal treatment of singers.
