摘要
传统的标句研究(句类标记、分类研究)认为,汉语特殊疑问句虽然不像英语那样通过疑问词上移(wh-movement)来标句,但句末助词"呢"可作为疑问句的句标。本文通过两个声学实验和两个韵律感知实验证实,汉语中真正起到标句作用的是韵律,即汉语特殊疑问句和陈述句之间有系统性的韵律差别,听话者能够通过感知韵律的区别来辨别甚至预测句子的句类。最后,在实验证据的基础上,我们结合最简方案,从句法理论上探讨了韵律标句的可能性和实现机制。
The traditional clausal typing studies claim that in Mandarin,a typical wh-in-situ language,the wh-particle"ne"can be used as a clausal typer to type wh-questions,just as the movement of a wh-word can type a wh-question in languages like English.Through two production studies and two perception studies,we show that in Mandarin,prosody plays the role of a clausal typer.Wh-questions and declaratives are differentiated by their different prosodic markings and these prosodic differences function like a clausal typer,which listeners rely on in making assessments and predictions about the clause types.Based on the experiment results,we discuss the theoretical mechanism of clausal typing based on prosody,especially within the framework of the Minimalist Program.
