韩国学习者普通话疑问句语调的韵律特征分析

Prosodic Features of Mandairn Interrogative Intonation Produced by Korean Learners

本文基于“语调格局”的思路,从音高、音长和音强三方面对韩国学习者汉语普通话疑问句语调的韵律特征进行了声学分析,并将汉语母语者的相关数据作为基线数据进行比较,考察了韩国学习者疑问句语调的习得情况。实验结果表明:(1)学习者汉语普通话疑问句中各韵律特征起伏变化小,语句整体节律感较差;(2)在自然焦点语调是非问句中,学习者不太擅长综合使用各韵律特征来突出句末重读音节上所承载的疑问语气和焦点信息;(3)母语特征、二语水平,以及语言普遍性等因素会共同作用于韩国留学生汉语普通话疑问句语调的习得过程。

In the framework of“intonation pattern”,the present paper examines three prosodic elements,pitch,duration and intensity,of interrogative sentences in Standard Mandarin produced by South Korean learners,and compares them with data from native Chinese speakers.The results indicate that 1)There are small differences in the extent of variations of the three prosodic elements in interrogative sentences produced by South Korean learners.As a result,their sentences lacked strong rhythm alterations.2)The South Korean learners could not use a combination of pitch,duration and intensity to express the interrogative mood and semantic information carried by the stressed syllable,which is in the end of interrogative sentences in broad focus,but in declarative word order.3)The South Korean learners’acquisition of interrogative intonation is influenced by linguistic features of their first language,proficiency level of the second language,and the universal characteristics of language acquisition.
