摘　　要：本文对锡伯语三音节词各音节韵部的音高、时长和音强进行提取和分析。锡伯语三音节词重音的语音表征为音高突显。在三音节词里,第一音节音高呈稳定的低平曲线,第二音节和第三音节分别呈较高的平调和高降调。与第一音节相比,第二和第三音节趋于弱化并导致元音脱落。锡伯语词第一音节可视为重音位置。This paper reports an experimental phonetic study of trisyllabic lexical stress in Sibe for the purpose of determining the phonetic correlates and the distribution of the word stress. A total of 712 trisyllabic tokens from 8 Sibe natives have been annotated, and information on average pitch, duration and intensity for each rhyme within a word is extracted through Praat. Statistical analysis shows that the lexical stress of trisyllabic words is consistently signaled by pitch prominence in Sibe. The initial syllable significantly maintains a stable level pitch in the low register, while the second and the third syllables display a high level and a high falling pitch contour respectively. The differences both in duration and in intensity among the three syllables are less consistent, and thus considered to be less significant. The observation also shows that vocalic reduction and deletion tend to occur in non-initial syllables, which, in contrast, are rare in the initial syllables. Based on all the observations, it is hypothesized that the initial syllable is the carrier of trisyllabic lexical stress in Sibe. The results echo our earlier findings of the stress pattern of disyllabic words in the language.
