Some recent studies indicate that there is a very close relationship between the prosodic features of conversation and their communicative functions: the prosodic features of conversation are controlled to some extent by their communicative functions, and the communicative functions of conversations are indicated by their prosodic features in some degree. In this paper, we divide 'a'(啊) into three categories according to its functions, i.e. exclamation, auxiliary word, and conversational indicator. The paper focuses on investigating the relationship between the prosodic features of 'a' and their communicative functions in the nature speech, and analyzing the differences among prosodic features of the three kinds of 'a'. The findings show that the prosodic features are significantly different among the three kinds of 'a', and their communicative functions in the stream of natural speech are indicated by their respective prosodic features.
