【摘要】：本文采用韵律句群结构模型(Hierarchy of Prosodic Phrase Group),通过感知重音等级标注的方法,在对比英语母语者和中国英语学习者英语句重音分布的基础上,重点讨论:(1)在句重音及韵律边界重音的分布上,中国英语学习者与本族语者有何不同?(2)在韵律层级的分布上,中国英语学习者与本族语者有何不同?本文还运用节奏分析工具(Time Group Analysis)进而进一步讨论(3)在节奏及时长的分布上,中国英语学习者与本族语者有何不同?研究结果表明,第一:本族语者的强调重音E2及特别强调重音E3多分布在实义词,弱化重音E0多分布在功能词而中国英语学习者均缺乏对弱化重音E0的使用。男性英语学习者在功能词及实义词的表达上多使用无强调重音E1,而女性英语学习者在表达中过度地使用重音,呈现出性别差异。本族语者的韵律边界重音分布在韵律短语PPh(Prosodic Phrase)的末尾位置,而中国英语学习者的韵律边界重音多分布在PPh的起始和中间位置。第二:在韵律层级划分上,中国英语学习者相比本族语者,更多的使用韵律短语边界B3,而缺乏对呼吸句群边界B4以及韵律句群边界B5的使用。第三:本族语者比中国英语学习者的rPVI-C更高,nPVI-V更低。男性英语学习者的rPVI-C低于女性。时长象限图的分布,本族语者在短-短象限的分布高于中国英语学习者,此外本族语者在短-长,长-短象限的分布呈现重读音节和非重读音交替变化。而中国英语学习者多分布在长-长,长-短象限,缺乏重读音节和非重读音节的对立。时长分布图,本族语者相比英语学习者时长更长,音强更宽且变化幅度更大。本研究发现中国英语学习者在句子的朗读过程中,未能指派正确的句重音,且缺乏对韵律句群的整体划分,节奏呈现音节节拍的特点。结果表明中国英语学习者与本族语者在句重音的分布及节奏运用上存在差异,以上差异源自汉语的负迁移,使其呈现中介语的特点。
[Abstract]:This paper uses the prosodic phrase group, a prosodic structure model, to compare the distribution of sentence stress between native English speakers and Chinese English learners by using the method of perceptual stress level tagging. (1) what is the difference between Chinese English learners and native speakers in the distribution of sentence stress and prosodic boundary stresses? (2) in the distribution of prosodic levels, what are the differences between Chinese English learners and native speakers? This paper also uses the rhythm analysis tool / time Group Analysis to further discuss the differences between Chinese EFL learners and native speakers in the distribution of Rhythm and Rhythm. The results show that: first, the emphasis E _ 2 and the stress E _ 3 of native speakers are mostly distributed in the real meaning words, and the weakening stress E _ 0 is mostly distributed in the function words, while the Chinese English learners lack the use of the weakening stress E _ 0. Male English learners often use unstressed stress E1 in the expression of functional words and literal words, while female English learners overuse stress in their expressions, showing gender differences. The prosodic boundary stresses of native speakers are located at the end of the prosodic phase, while the prosodic stresses of Chinese EFL learners are located at the beginning and middle of PPH. Second, Chinese EFL learners use the prosodic phrase boundary B3 more often than their native speakers, but they lack the use of breath sentence group boundary B4 and prosodic sentence group boundary B5. Third, native speakers have higher rPVI-C and lower nPVI-V than Chinese English learners. The rPVI-C of male EFL learners was lower than that of females. The distribution of temporal quadrant is higher than that of Chinese English learners in short and short quadrants, in addition, the distribution of native speakers in short to long quadrants and long and short quadrants shows alternating stress and unaccented syllables. Chinese EFL learners are mostly distributed in long-long, long-short quadrants and lack of stress syllables and unstressed syllables. Time distribution shows that native speakers have longer duration, wider tone intensity and greater variation than English learners. The present study finds that Chinese EFL learners fail to assign correct sentence stress in the process of sentence reading and lack the overall division of prosodic sentence groups and the rhythm is characterized by syllable rhythm. The results show that there are differences in the distribution and rhythm of sentence stress between Chinese English learners and native speakers, and the differences are due to the negative transfer of Chinese, which makes them present the characteristics of interlanguage.
