我们报告了一项实验研究的英语和汉语普通话的话语水平的韵律轮廓所产生的母语和非母语的，重点是第二语言的发言者是否适当区分三种施事类型的句子：声明，问题，和回声问题。对于这两种语言，数据显示一个惊人的失败，第二语言学习者要么实现目标一样的双音节水平的韵律或转移母语轮廓，除了当地的F0游览最后音节。我们讨论了一系列可能的解释，这可以在进一步的研究中进行测试，为什么转移不是更广泛的，为什么特别是它被限制在话语的最后位置。初步的结论是，局部韵律现象和整体韵律现象可能在语言、加工和神经基础上有根本的不同。
We report an experimental study of English and Mandarin Chinese utterance-level prosodic contours produced by native and non-native speakers, with a focus on whether second-language speakers appropriately differentiate sentences of three illocutionary types: statements, questions, and echo questions. For both languages, the data show a striking failure by second-language learners either to achieve target-like sentence-level prosody or to transfer native-language contours, with the exception of local F0 excursions in final syllables. We discuss a range of possible explanations, which can be tested in further research, for why transfer was not more extensive and why in particular it was confined to utterance-final position. A tentative conclusion is that local and global prosodic phenomena may differ fundamentally in their linguistic, processing and neural bases.
