“是”字句的节律特征和语音停延规律

关于"是",语法学界已颇有研究.但不少语言学家只强调其语法关系,而忽视了"是"的语音形式和表意功能.通过考察可发现:"是"的节律特征不同表示不同的语义.通过对"是"字句所做的语音测试和录音,以及对"是"字句的语音切分进行分析和归纳后,还可以发现"是"字句具有与一般认识不完全一致的语音停延规律.

Rhythm Structures of the Chinese Shi-Sentences

Most of the studies on the shi-sentences (sentences with the verb to be)have focused on their grammatical features rather than on their phonetic forms and functional meanings. This paper suggests that different rhythm structures of the shi-sentences carry distinctive functions and meanings. New rules governing the phonological segmentation of the shi-sentences are discovered through phonological experiments.
