韻律構詞學與漢語構詞中的韻律結構問題

Prosodic Morphology and the Prosodic Structure in Chinese Morphology

本文首先從韻律構詞學的角度梳理對漢語構詞—韻律交互作用的研究。已有研究主要涉及漢語的音節重量、音步類型和最小韻律詞等基礎性問題。雖然多數研究認爲,從韻律結構的角度定義漢語構詞模版可以説明構詞過程輸入項或輸出項形式,但不同研究對韻律結構單位的理解不同。本文以漢語方言中的構詞現象爲依據進一步論證音節重量、音步類型和最小韻律詞,以期證明這些方言是音節重量敏感型語言的可能性。

This study provides a survey of the previous research on the morphology-prosody interaction in Chinese,in which issues such as the syllable weight,foot types and the minimal prosodic word are discussed.Most of the previous studies indicate the feasibility to explain the phonological forms of input or output in word-formation by defining word-formation template prosodically.However,these studies fail to agree on the internal structure of different prosodic units in Chinese.Based on a diversity of prosodically related word-formation processes observed in some Chinese dialects,this study argues for the possibility of Chinese being a syllable-weight sensitive language.
