从沙哈语看音调单元分布和实现的韵律限制（英文）

Prosodic Restrictions on the Distribution and Realization of Tonal Events: Evidence from Chaha

在声调和语调系统中,字调、音高重音和边界调等音调单元跟不同的音段单元呈现出系统性的对应关系。从音调单元到音段的映射过程不仅跟音段在一定韵律结构里的位置密切相关,而且还受到普遍和语言特有的韵律特征和韵律限制条件的制约。本文以语调音系学的自主音段—节律理论为基础,分析一种叫沙哈语的闪米特语族语言的语调系统,主要讨论了韵律位置和该语言特有的韵律特征对音调单元分布和实现的作用。

Tonal events such as lexical tones,pitch accents and boundary tones align with their segmental hosts in a systematic way in tonal and intonational systems.The process of tone mapping,which often refers to positions within a prosodic grouping,is dependent on universal and language-specific prosodic features and restrictions.Following largely the autosegmental-metrical approach to intonational phonology,this study provides an analysis of the tonal system of intonation in Chaha,a Semitic language,to demonstrate in what way restrictions imposed by prosodic positions and language-specific prosodic features can determine the distribution and realization of tonal events.
