摘要
先秦时期,汉语的核心重音指派方式与英语等语言相同,均为“尾重模式”;自两汉起,核心重音开始转变为“辖重模式”。辖重模式核心重音要求句子主要谓语范围内不能出现两个语调短语,从而导致古汉语双小句结构的选择问缩减为现代汉语类型的单小句正反问。汉语VO-NOT-VO和VO-NOT-V两种正反问句的发展历程,印证了汉语史上核心重音转型对于语言结构演变的促发作用。
The assignment of nuclear stress in Chinese has shifted from C-NSR(Constituent-driven Nuclear Stress Rule)in Pre-Qin Period to G-NSR(Government-based Nuclear Stress Rule)since Han Dynasty.The above prosodic change prohibits more than one intonation phrase within the VP in which nuclear stress in assigned.Constrained by G-NSR,bi-clasual alternative questions were compressed into mono-clausal A-NOT-A questions.The development of VO-NOT-VO and VO-NOT-V,two subtypes of A-NOT-A questions,illustrates the important role of nuclear stress shift in triggering syntactic changes.
