在语调语言中，音调重音的实现因语音效果的应用而有所不同，如“截断”和“压缩”。这些影响可以改变口音的表面形式，但不会影响语音对比的清单。在英语和德语的标准语种中，截断和压缩的应用存在着跨语言的差异，瑞典语和丹麦语中也存在着跨语种的差异。本文为英式英语四种变体在截断和压缩方面的跨语种差异提供了证据。我们发现，说剑桥英语和纽卡斯尔英语的人压缩了上升和下降的口音，但在利兹英语中，在相同的语境中，我们发现了截断。在贝尔法斯特英语中，我们在剑桥英语、利兹英语和纽卡斯尔英语中发现了引发起伏的语境中的上升-平台型模式，这些上升-平台型模式被截断；我们的数据首先表明，一种语言的不同变体可以共享语调规范，但这些规范在F-0中的实现方式不同。其次，它们表明，逆转也是可能的。不同的变种可以共享语音实现效果，但这种效果适用于不同的基音重音。(C)2000年学术出版社。
In intonation languages, the realization of pitch accents varies with the application of phonetic effects such as "truncation" and "compression". These effects can change the surface form of accents but do not affect the inventory of phonological contrasts. Cross-linguistic differences in the application of truncation and compression have been attested for the standard varieties of English and German, and cross-varietal differences have been shown to apply within Swedish and Danish. This paper provides evidence for cross-varietal differences in truncation and compression in four varieties of British English. We show that speakers of Cambridge English and Newcastle English compress rising and falling accents, but in Leeds English, in identical contexts, we find truncation. In Belfast English, we find rise-plateau patterns in contexts eliciting rises and falls in Cambridge English, Leeds and Newcastle, and these rise-plateaux are truncated; Our data show firstly that different varieties of one language can share intonological specifications but differ in the way these specifications are realized in F-0. Secondly, they show that the reverse is also possible. Different Varieties can share a phonetic realization effect, but apply this effect to different pitch accents. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
