已有研究表明,说话人和听话人使用语音线索来帮助他们跟踪正在进行的对话互动结构,但定性和定量研究之间的分裂意味着这些线索的形式和功能被赋予了不同的特征。本研究采用定性(会话分析)和定量(实验语音学/音位学)相结合的研究方法,探讨了会话语料中对比结构中的韵律变异。统计和会话分析方法一起使用,揭示了韵律变化和互动功能之间的关系,例如,相邻语轮的音调范围的变化与主题的阶段性变化有关。
Speakers and listeners have been shown to use phonetic cues to help them in tracking the ongoing structure of conversational interaction, but fragmentation between qualitative and quantitative research means that the forms and functions of these cues have been given varying characterizations. The current study explores prosodic variation in contrastive structures in conversational data, using a combined methodology adopting aspects from both qualitative (conversation analysis) and quantitative (experimental phonetics/phonology) approaches. Statistical and conversation-analytical methods used together reveal relationships between prosodic variation and interactional function, such as variations in pitch range across adjacent turns being linked to the presence of ‘stepwise' topic changes.
