简介：时间约束和音节跨语言的组合语音模式的最强有力的方面之一是辅音和元音彼此整理成音节大小的结构的强烈趋势。与此同时，音节的语音特征还没有被发现，这使得许多研究者得出这样的结论：音节模式可能是几个不同的语音因素聚合的结果，每个语音因素都有其根源，在言语交际过程的不同方面。在本文中，我将展示的证据表明，音节组织的一个语音方面是一种倾向的手势，居住在一个音节的特定位置，有特别优选的手势间的时间。证据来自一个速率控制的重复实验，涉及简单的尾声和起始结构。音节在语言学理论中有多种用途，其中许多在Blevins（1995）中进行了综述。首先，它是韵律组织的基本单位。因此，它在韵律树的构建和韵律形态学的各种操作中占有重要地位。此外，在许多语言中，最小单词通常由单个音节组成。第二，音节通常作为表达音段共现限制的域。一个常见的传统论点是音节的音位结构的限制，这是很容易指定的音节或音节成分。
Introduction: temporal constraint and the syllable One of the most robust aspects of syntagmatic phonological patterning across languages is a strong tendency for consonants and vowels to collate with one another into structures of the size of a syllable. At the same time, an explicit and simple characterisation of the phonetics of syllables has yet to be found, leading many researchers to the conclusion that no such characterisation will ever be found. Syllabic patterning could be the result of a convergence of several different phonetic factors which each have their roots in different aspects of the speech communication process. In this paper, I will show evidence which indicates that one phonetic aspect of syllabic organisation is a tendency for gestures which inhabit particular locations in a syllable to have particular preferred intergestural timings. The evidence comes from a rate-controlled repetition experiment involving simple coda and onset structures. The syllable has various uses in linguistic theory, many of which are reviewed in Blevins (1995). First, it acts as a foundational unit in prosodic organisation. Thus, it figures in the construction of prosodic trees and in various operations in prosodic morphology. Also, minimal words often consist of a single syllable in many languages. Second, the syllable often serves as the domain within which segmental cooccurrence restrictions are expressed. A common traditional argument for the syllable is the existence of phonotactic constraints which are easily specified in terms of syllables or syllabic constituents.
