音节结构的响度限制

韵律结构控制音段分布的关键方法之一是音调。通过考虑音段的音度，它们在音节内的排列遵循一个明确的模式：最响亮的音节占据峰顶位置，而不那么响亮的音节出现在边缘，正如在广泛的文学作品中所观察到的那样(Jespersen 1904；Sausure 1916；Zwick1972；Hooper 1976；Kiparsky 1979,1981；Lowenstanm 1981；Steriade 1982；Selkirk 1984；Clements 1990)。在以前的文献中，音节内音段的这种特定排列被归因于音调排序原理，该原理将音调较低的音段降级为音节边缘(参见Hooper 1976；Kiparsky 1979,1981；Steriade 1982；Selkirk 1984；Levin 1985；Clements 1990)。
One of the crucial ways in which prosodic structure governs the distribution of segments is in terms of sonority. By taking into account what is known′ as the sonority of segments, their arrangement within the syllable follows a clear pattern: the most sonorous segment occupies the peak position, while the less sonorous ones occur towards the margins, as observed in a wide range of literature (Jespersen 1904; Saussure 1916; Zwicky 1972; Hooper 1976; Kiparsky 1979, 1981; Lowenstamm 1981; Steriade 1982; Selkirk 1984; Clements 1990). This specific arrangement of segments within the syllable has been attributed in the previous literature to the principle of sonority sequencing, which relegates segments low in sonority towards syllable margins (see Hooper 1976; Kiparsky 1979, 1981; Steriade 1982; Selkirk 1984; Levin 1985; Clements 1990).
