汉语和维吾尔语陈述语调与疑问语调的对比研究

论文摘要

汉语是典型的声调语言,在汉语中声调和语调均依赖于音高的变化。而维吾尔语是非声调语言,在维语中只存在语调不存在声调。本文从语言产出的角度出发,通过对比汉、维语陈述句及不同类型疑问句语调的音高变化来探讨这两种语言语调模式的共性与个性。10名汉族发音人和10名维吾尔族发音人(男女均各占半数)参加了汉、维语陈述语调和疑问语调的产出实验。实验数据的收集与规整使用语音分析处理软件Praat 4.6.09。数据的统计与分析使用社会科学统计软件SPSS 11.5。实验结果表明:(1)汉、维语陈述语调均呈现出降调的趋势;(2)汉、维语疑问语调不仅仅通过句末音高体现,而且通过整个语句的音高变化来实现。此外汉、维语四类疑问句的语调对比结果显示,汉语是非疑问句(有/无疑问语气助词)的句末音高显著高于特殊疑问句和正反疑问句,而维语无疑问语气助词的是非疑问句的句末音高显著高于有疑问语气助词的是非疑问句、特殊疑问句和正反疑问句。对汉、维语陈述语调和疑问语调的研究有助于我们了解声调语言汉语和非声调语言维吾尔语语调模式的特点,从而为二语学习者学习汉语和维吾尔语语调提供帮助。该实验研究还为对比语言类型提供科学依据。
