项目摘要

First, the project aimed at identifying the function of linguistic rhythm by extracting its universal functional characteristic through the comparison of languages that have different rhythmic patterns (English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Pidgin English, etc.) One of the findings is that English and its "kinship" language, pidgin English, are totally different in linguistic rhythm as well as vocabulary and grammar. The conclusion about the function of linguistic rhythm is that it plays an important role in structuring a speech into regular informative units; in short, it can be defined as a "pace maker" for parsing speeches. We modified speech rhythms in various ways with a computer and examined understandability of the speeches. The series of experiment showed that speeches with irregularized rhythm drop in understandability markedly.Second, the project studied the relationship between linguistic rhythm and accompanying rhythm of the body and examined how effective the accompanying rhythms is in effective communication.Third, as an application, the project designed a training system for learning linguistic and physical rhythms of a foreign language using computers and video cameras so that learners can monitor their performance and develop the ability to communicate productively and persuasively.

首先，该项目旨在通过对具有不同节奏模式的语言（英语、日语、汉语、西班牙语、洋泾浜英语等）进行比较，提取其普遍功能特征，从而确定语言节奏的功能。研究发现之一是英语和它的“亲属”语言--洋泾浜英语在语言节奏、词汇和语法上都是完全不同的。关于语言节奏功能的结论是，它在将一段语音组织成规则的信息单位方面起着重要作用，简言之，它可以被定义为一个分析语音的“步伐制造者”。我们用计算机以各种方式修改语音节奏，并检查语音的可理解性。实验结果表明，节奏不规则的语音在可理解性上有明显的下降。第二，研究了语言节奏与肢体伴随节奏的关系，考察了肢体伴随节奏在有效交际中的作用。第三，作为应用，该项目设计了一个利用计算机和摄像机学习外语语言和身体节奏的训练系统，学习者可以监控自己的表现，并培养有效和有说服力的沟通能力。
