黄田镇九都话平调产出与感知实验研究

Research on the Production and Perception of theJiudu Dialect in Huangtian Town

文章采用实验语音学及统计学方法对黄田镇九都话声调产出进行详细描写,并对九都话的平调进行感知实验的研究。实验结果证明:方言区九都话的平调在不同年龄段内部发展不稳定,大致呈现为:年老一代存在4个平调,年轻一代阴入与阳上混淆,阳去在声调产出上向阳上、阴入声调靠拢;平调在音节刺激方式不存在各自的范畴感知,阳上、阳去和阴入在感知上混淆。从黄田镇九都话平调的产出与感知关系看,面对复杂多变的声调发展变化状况,传统的调查方法存在局限。未来的方言声调调查需结合传统方言学方法,并辅以更多产出和感知数据的支撑,进一步细化描写。同时,方言声调格局的描写也有待进一步探讨。

This article describes the tones of Jiudu dialect in Huangtian town in detail using experimental phonetics and examines methods,and examines the perception experiment of Jiudu dialect’s level tone.The experimental results show that:level tones of Jiudu dialect dcveloped internal instability in different ages.Older generation had four level tones,while the tone of Yinru was merged into Yangqu,Yangqu was close to the perception distance of Yinru and Yangqu in younger generation.The level tones show different patterns of categorical perception in the monosyllable stimuli method.The experimental data indicates tone merging in the production and perception.From the relationship between production and perception of Jiudu dialect,traditional methods have limitations facing the complex changeable tone develepment.The future investigations of dialeet tones need to combine the traditional dialect research method,supplemented by more data support of tone production and perception.And dialect tone pattern description also needs further discussion.
