【摘要】：英式英语是众多英语学习者所公认的标准英语,女王英语更堪称众多英语学者所模仿的典范。当前的英国女王伊丽莎白二世在位已有六十余年,每年她都会在圣诞节时发表演讲,聆听女王的演讲已成了英国人过圣诞节的传统。无论是遣词造句、语法的运用,还是优美的语音语调,圣诞演说都具有相当高的品质。本文主要研究女王英语的连贯语流方面,并从连读和失爆两个角度入手。本研究主要探索出现在选取的三十五篇圣诞演说里的连读和失爆现象,并致力于解答以下问题:第一,出现在圣诞演说里的连读和失爆现象的语音环境有何特点?第二,随着女王年龄的增长,其连读和失爆是否受到影响?如果受到影响,那么变化的方向又是什么?第三,出现在圣诞演说和BBC新闻里的连读和失爆,有何共同点或者不同点?为了更好地突出女王英语的特点,本论文选取了十篇BBC新闻作为辅助性研究材料。通过定量分析和比较的研究方法,本文不仅呈现了出现在圣诞演说和BBC新闻里的所有连读和失爆现象,还探究了各自的特点。两者之间,失爆比连读享有更多相似之处。就平均值来看,圣诞演说里的连读和失爆的频率分别是6.23%和2.52%,BBC新闻里分别是4.44%和3.70%。女王英语具有更高频率的连读和相对较低频率的失爆。圣诞演说里的平均失爆频率比BBC新闻里低1.18%。但是,圣诞演说里的平均连读频率比BBC新闻里高1.79%。而且,圣诞演说里有四种不同类型的连读语音环境而BBC新闻里只有一种。相反的是,就失爆来说,圣诞演说和BBC新闻里都有九种语音环境。女王的连读和失爆并不会受到年龄增长的影响。基于本文的分析和发现,本文对英语学习者和教授者都具有很重要的意义。学习者熟知连读和失爆的规律之后,他们将会更好地理解别人的话语并且把自己的话语润色得更加地道、流利,尤其对于口译者来说。本文对英语教学也有一定启发。当学生了解了连读和失爆的基本规则之后,他们将会更好地完成英语听力测试。
[Abstract]:British English is recognized as the standard English by many English learners, and Queen English is a model imitated by many English learners. Queen Elizabeth II, who has been in power for more than 60 years, speaks at Christmas every year. Listening to the Queen's speech has become a Christmas tradition in Britain. Christmas speeches are of high quality, whether they are phraseology, grammatical use, or beautiful pronunciation and intonation. This paper mainly studies the Queen's English in the aspect of coherent language flow, and starts from two angles of continuous reading and explosion. This study mainly explores the phenomenon of continuous reading and explosion in the selected 35 Christmas speeches, and tries to answer the following questions: first, what are the characteristics of the phonetic environment of the continuous reading and explosive phenomenon in the Christmas speech? Second, as the Queen grows older, does her serial reading and explosion suffer? If so, what is the direction of change? Third, what do they have in common or different about the links and explosions that appear in the Christmas speech and BBC News? In order to better highlight the features of Queen's English, this thesis selects ten BBC News as supporting materials. By means of quantitative analysis and comparison, this paper not only presents all the phenomena of continuous reading and explosion appearing in the Christmas speech and BBC News, but also explores their own characteristics. There are more similarities between the two than serial reading. On average, the frequency of repeat and explosion in the Christmas speech was 6.23 percent and 2.52 percent respectively, and 4.44 percent and 3.70 percent on BBC News, respectively. Queen English has higher frequency of continuous reading and lower frequency of explosion. The average rate of loss on the Christmas speech was 1.18 times lower than on BBC News. However, the average frequency of the Christmas speech was 1.79 times higher than that on BBC News. Also, there are four different types of conjunctions in the Christmas speech and only one on BBC News. On the contrary, there are nine voice environments in both the Christmas speech and BBC News. The Queen's rendezvous and explosion will not be affected by age. Based on the analysis and findings of this paper, this paper is of great significance to both English learners and professors. When learners are familiar with the rules of continuous reading and explosion, they will better understand the words of others and make their words more eloquent and fluent, especially for interpreters. This article also has the certain enlightenment to the English teaching. When the students understand the basic rules of continuous reading and explosion, they will be better able to complete the English listening test.
