第二章语音学
一、导读
2.1 语音研究
人类交际包括两种形式:语言交际(linguistic communication) 和非语言交际(paralinguistic communication)。非语言交际包括手势、表情、眼神或图表等。语言交际包括口语(spoken language)和书面语(written language)。在多数情况下,人们主要是通过口语进行交际。口语交际的媒介是语音(speech sounds),也就是说人们通过声道(vocal track)发出的音来表达意义。这种对语音的研究被叫做语音学(phonetics)。
口语交际是一个复杂的过程。可以想象,当人们交际时,语音首先被说话者发出,然后,它在空气中被传递并被听话者接收。也就是说,口语交际包括三个基本步骤:语音的发出→语音在空气中的传导→语音的接收。根据这三个步骤, 语音研究也自然地分成三个主要研究领域。对第一个步骤的研究是发声语音学(articulatory phonetics),研究语音的产生。对第二个步骤的研究是声学语音学(acoustic phonetics),研究语音的物理特征。对第三个步骤的研究是听觉语音学(auditory phonetics),研究和语音感知有关的内容。
2.2 发音机制
语音是由各种发音器官(speech organ)而产生的。因此,正确理解语音需要掌握相关的发音系统知识。人体发声器官(见《语言学概论》杨忠主编,高等教育出版社2002:15)使流出的气流产生各种各样的变化,从而产生不同的音。肺部的气流是发声的原动力。肺部扩大时,空气从外流入,形成吸气音(ingressive sounds)。肺部收缩时,气流流经气管(trachea)、喉头(larynx)、咽腔(pharyngeal cavity)再经口腔(oral cavity)或鼻腔(nasal cavity) 排除,形成呼气音(egressive sounds)。
Chapter 2 Speech Sounds
Phonetics and Phonology
Phonetics studies how speech sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived.
Three main areas: Articulatory phonetics is the study of the production of
speech sounds.
Acoustic phonetics is the study of the physical properties
of speech sounds.
Perceptual or auditory phonetics is concerned with the
perception of speech sounds.
Phonology is the study of the sound patterns and sound systems of languages. It aims to discover the principles that govern the way sounds are organized in languages, and to explain the variations that occur. Begin by analyzing an individual language, then discover the rules that underlie the sound patterns of all languages.
语言学概论第二章---Phonetics and Phonology
这一章学习一定要记住一个词“sound”。这里的sound 千万不是指音标,就是指人听到的声音,记住这一点对于以后的理解至关重要。这一章分类讲sound 是怎样产生的,语言学家又是怎样分类的,以及sound 有什么样的特性。
2.1 Production of sounds---声音的产生
Phonetics 讲的就是什么是声音和声音的分类,用课本上的话来说,phonetics is the study of speech and is concerned with defining and classifying sound. [这不同于phonology (the study of the system of sounds in a language or the system of sounds itself), phonology 讲的是将声音系统化来研究]
那么,声音到底是什么呢?
语言学家Ball and Rahilly提出了一个关于“语言链”(speech chain)包括三步:声音的产生(production of message),传播(transmission of message)和接收(reception of message)。
根据这一点,phonetics(研究“什么是声音”的学科)就分为三个领域:声音的本质是什么以及声音是怎么产生的(articulatory phonetics),也就是说,它研究人体产生声音的过程。什么样的声音(包括波形)能被人接收(acoustic phonetics),研究要用到machine。声音是怎样被人认知的(auditory phonetics),可能会涉及到人脑的研究。
Chapter 2 Phonology 音系学
1. The phonic medium of language
语言的声音媒介
Speech and writing are the two media used by natural languages as vehicles for communication. Of the two media of language, speech is more basic than writing. Speech is prior to writing. The writing system of any language is always “invented” by its users to record speech when the need arises.
For linguists, the study of sounds is of greater importance than that of writing.
The limited ranges of sounds which are meaningful in human communication and are of interest to linguistic studies are the phonic medium of language (语言的声音媒介) . The individual sounds within this range are the speech sounds (语音). 2.What is phonetics?
