摘要几种研究传统假设,节奏之间的差异莫拉,音节和重音定时的语言是植根于不同的语音轮廓的语言问题。在本文中,10个建议的韵律,音韵和形态音位参数进行了测试,对数据从20种语言样本。证据表明,语言之间的节奏差异是渐进的,而不是离散的。因此,语言节奏应被视为一个连续体与莫拉-和重音为基础的节奏为重点。由于重音和情绪相关参数的进化过程在原则上是相互独立的,历时性对语言节奏的整体类型学提出了质疑。
Abstract Several research traditions have hypothesized that rhythmic differences between mora-, syllable- and stress-timed languages are rooted in the different phonological profiles of the languages in question. In this paper, ten of the proposed prosodic, phonotactic and morphophonological parameters are tested against data from a twenty-language sample. The evidence suggests that rhythmic differences across languages are gradual rather than discrete. Linguistic rhythm should therefore be conceived as a continuum with mora- and stress-based rhythm as focal points. Since evolutionary processes on stress- and mora-related parameters are in principle independent from each other, diachrony casts doubt on holistic typologies of linguistic rhythm.
