摘　　要：本文通过语音实验,分别从音高和时长的角度对香港地区粤语带有语气词的述宾易位句的韵律特征进行了研究。实验结果表明,在香港地区粤语中,易位句整体是一个句调短语,主体呈一致的降势音高。易位句中的语气词时长较短,无额外的降势音高,不显示韵律边界特征。易位句的前置部分音高不会因作为主题焦点而提高,反而是较低,与常规句中相应的部分接近。易位句的后移部分音高较低,时长也较短。以上韵律特征皆可从句法和语用的角度得到解释。本文的研究能为汉语句调和语气词的研究提供新的视角和实证,是方言语法和韵律交互作用研究的新尝试。This paper presents an interdisciplinary study on dislocation focus construction(DFC,henceforth)in Hong Kong region Cantonese,which dislocates a predicate and an object with a so-called sentence-final particle(henceforth SP)amid them,i.e.,the DFC has a surface structure of"β(object)SPα(predicate)".The results of the acoustic experiment show that prosodically the DFC is one intonational phrase with a unidirectional declining trend.The SP in the DFC does not exhibit boundary features,which does not show extra declining nor obvious lengthening effect.The sentence-mid SP may serve as a phrase-boundary rather than a sentence-boundary.The right-dislocatedαpart of the DFC has a lower pitch register and a shorter duration,just as expected.Contrary to our expectation,the pitch of theβpart of the DFC does not rise although it receives the focus and is moved toward the beginning of the sentence.Instead,it remains on low pitch,just as its counterpart in a sentence in the canonical word order.Based on the experimental results,further analysis from the perspectives of syntax and semantics were conducted.The methodology and perspectives of the phonetics-syntax-semantics interface study in this paper can be further developed and extended to more studies in Chinese dialects.
