在一个流动性越来越大的时代，语言接触是不可避免的。尽管在形态句法和语音（音段）变化方面的讨论卓有成效，但语言接触的韵律方面受到的关注要少得多。因此，本文拟（1）描述雅美语调的关键方面，在台湾的一个濒危南岛语系的语言和（2）调查雅美-普通话双语语调模式，给雅美-普通话接触。三个参数被认为是：最终的边界音，F0斜率，和音高高度。Yami单语者在陈述和中性问题中产生了下降的轮廓，但产生了寻求确认的问题和默认陈述问题。双语者在两个方面显示出普通话影响的证据。第一，他们将普通话的语调（水平）转移到他们的雅美中性问题;第二，一个非雅美母语的问题类型也被双语者“移植”到雅美。有趣的是，新增加的问题类型与先前存在的雅美语调融合在一起，形成了一个创新的混合系统。这似乎预示着语调系统演变的新方向。如果这些变化继续下去，并加强，今天的雅美语调可能会演变成一个新的风格。
In an age of increasing mobility, language contact is unavoidable. Despite fruitful discussion in morpho-syntactic and phonological (segmental) variation, prosodic aspects of language contact have received far less attention. This paper thus intends to (1) describe key aspects of Yami intonation, an endangered Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan and (2) investigate Yami-Mandarin bilingual intonation patterns, given Yami-Mandarin contact. Three parameters are considered: final boundary tone, F 0 slope, and pitch height. Yami-monolinguals produced falling contours in statements and neutral questions, but produced confirmation-seeking questions and default statement questions with a rising pattern. Bilingual speakers show evidence of Mandarin influence in two respects. First, they transfer the Mandarin-like (level) intonation to their Yami neutral questions; second, a non-Yami-native question type has also been “transplanted” into Yami by bilinguals. Interestingly, the newly-added question type is fused with pre-existing Yami intonation to form an innovative hybrid system. This seems to indicate a new direction in the evolution of the intonation system. If these variations continue and strengthen, present-day Yami intonation may evolve over time into a new-styled one.
