7、urated by a small group of language teachers in France who had found the practice of phonetics useful in their teaching and wished to popularize their methods.,,It was changed to its present title of the,International Phonetic Association,(IPA) in 1897.,One of the first activities of the Association

8、 was to produce a journal in which the contents were printed entirely in,phonetic transcription,.,,The idea of establishing a,phonetic alphabet,was first proposed by the Danish grammarian and phonetician Otto Jespersen,奧托,.,耶斯伯森,(1860-1943) in 1886, and,,the first version of the,International Phonet

9、ic Alphabet,(the,IPA chart,) was published in August 1888.,Its main principles were that,,there should be a separate letter for each distinctive sound, and,,that the same symbol should be used for that sound in any language in which it appears.,,The alphabet was to consist of as many Roman alphabet

10、letters as possible, using new letters and diacritics only when absolutely necessary.,,These principles continue to be followed today.,The InternationalPhonetic Alphabet,(Revised to 2005),肺部氣流音,非肺部氣流音、連音和其它符號,,,Diacritics: the additional symbols or marks used together with consonant and vowel symbo

11、ls to indicate nuances of change in their pronunciation.,,,變音符號（附加符號）,,變音符號（附加符號）是加在音標周圍的小記號，以標示此音標發(fā)音須作的變化，或作更精確的描述。下標的變音附號（平常置于音標或符號下方的記號）若要加,在,降部,的音標時，可以改置于字母上方。,,當,i,加上變音附號后，上方的點可能會和附加符號產生混淆時，應使用不含點的,i,。有些,IPA,符號也可作為附加符號，以描述語音細節(jié)：,t??(,擦音除阻,),?b??(,漏氣音,),??a?(,喉音起始,),???(,置入,schwa),,o?,(,雙元音化,),。,

12、,,suprasegmental,phoneme,,n.,超音段音位（又,prosodeme,, secondary phoneme,）一些分析中，特別是美國結構主義語言學家的分析中，超音段成分被看做是音位時，叫做超音段音位，它大致同普通音段音位相等．,Bloomfield(1933),早些時候把它叫做次音位，用主音位指音段音位。,,suprasegmental,,adj. n.,超音段,[,的,],（又,non-segmental,,plurisegmental,）（關于音系音段）轄域大于單個音段的，要描寫其語音實現(xiàn)只能涉及同一語句中的比鄰轄域。最常見的這種成分是重音和聲調（或音高），不過有

13、時人們認為還有其他的成分。超音段成分基本上是同韻律成分相同的。 這一術語由美國結構主義語言學家提出，然而始終在廣泛運用中。,,繼薩氏和布氏之后二人的學生派克把音位的概念進一步抽象他認為在元音、輔音里能區(qū)別意義的是“音段音位”把音長、重音和音高等稱為“超音段音位,.”,到,60,年代美國結構學派的語言學家在分析英語語音系統(tǒng)時把元音、輔音、半元音、音渡、重音、調末的方向都列為音位（稱為“非音質音位”或“超音段音位”）,,D.J.,音標,Daniel Jones Phonetic Symbol,D.J.,音標與,K.K.,音標對比,John S Kenyon & Thomas A Knott,2.

14、 Consonants and vowels,,Consonants,are produced ‘by a closure in the vocal tract, or by a narrowing which is so marked that air cannot escape without producing audible friction’.,,By contrast, a,vowel,is produced without such ‘,stricture,’ so that ‘air escapes in a relatively unimpeded way through t

15、he mouth or nose’.,,The distinction between vowels and consonants lies in the,obstruction of airstream,.,,As there is no obstruction of air in the production of vowels, the description of the consonants and vowels cannot be done along the same lines.,2.1 Consonants,,In the production of consonants a

16、t least two,articulators,are involved.,,For example, the initial sound in,bad,involves both lips and its final segment involves the blade (or the tip) of the tongue and the alveolar ridge.,,The categories of consonant, therefore, are established on the basis of several factors.,The,manner of articul

17、ation,refers to ways in which articulation can be accomplished:,,the articulators may close off the oral tract for an instant or a relatively long period;,,they may narrow the space considerably; or,,they may simply modify the shape of the tract by approaching each other.,Stop (or Plosive),（,閉塞音或破擦音

18、）,,Oral & Nasal,（,鼻音,）,,Fricative,（,摩擦音,）,,(Median) Approximant,（,近音）,,Lateral (Approximant),（,邊音,）,,Trill,（,顫音,）,,Tap or Flap,（,閃音,）,,Affricate,（,塞擦音,）,The,place of articulation,refers to the point where a consonant is made.,,Practically consonants may be produced at any place between the lips and

19、the vocal folds.,,Eleven places of articulation are distinguished on the IPA chart:,Bilabial,（,雙唇音,）,,Labiodental,（,唇齒音,）,,Dental,（,齒音,）,,Alveolar,（,齒齦音）,,Postalveolar,（,齒齦后音）,,Retroflex,（,卷舌音,）,,Palatal,（,上顎音,）,,Velar,（,軟鍔音,）,,Uvular,（,小舌音,）,,Pharyngeal,（,喉音）,,Glottal,（,聲門音,）,,,2.2 Vowels,,Cardinal

20、 Vowels,, as exhibited by the vowel diagram in the IPA chart, are a set of vowel qualities arbitrarily defined, fixed and unchanging, intended to provide a frame of reference for the description of the actual vowels of existing languages.,,十九世紀末，英國語言學家,D.,瓊斯（,D.Jones,),用,X,光從口腔左側拍攝了八個基本元音的近顎點（舌面離上顎最

21、近點）的舌位圖。確立了八個基本元音的位置。,Jones: An Outline of English Phonetics (1918),Black: IPA,,Red: English,,八個基本元音就像八根定點的柱子，撐起了元音的大廈，其它所有的元音都可參照他們的位置找到自己的處所。,,基本元音指基本元音系統(tǒng)內的任何一個元音。由瓊斯提出，用以描寫任何語言中的元音。它們不屬于某一特定語言，而是作為元音可能存在的參照點。,,所有的基本元音都是單元音,,The problematic area is that the initial sound in,hot,gives little turbul

22、ence, depending on how forcefully it is said, and in,yet,and,wet,the initial segments are obviously vowels.,,To get out of this problem, the usual solution is to say that these segments are neither vowels nor consonants but midway between the two categories. For this purpose, the term ‘,semi-vowel,’

23、 is often used.,Languages also frequently make use of a distinction between vowels where the quality remains constant throughout the articulation and those where there is an audible change of quality.,,The former are known as,pure,or,monophthong,vowels,and the latter,,vowel glides,.,,If a single mov

24、ement of the tongue is involved, the glides are called,diphthongs,.,,,,A double movement produces a,triphthong,（三元音）,, which is ‘a glide from one vowel to another and then to a third, all produced rapidly and without interruption’.,,They are really diphthongs followed by the,schwa,[?], (,中性原音）,found

25、 in English words like,wire,[,wa??,] and,tower,[,ta??,].,,元音音渡：語音能區(qū)分發(fā)音過程中的性質恒定的元音和發(fā)音過程中有聽覺上變化的元音之間的區(qū)別。前者為純原音或單元音，后者就是元音音渡。如果舌頭只運動一次，這種音渡叫雙元音，運動兩次叫三元音。,,Shwa,:,中性元音：據構擬，共同印歐語的元音組成有長短,a, e, i, o, u,。另外至少還有一個弱化元音,[?],,這是由長元音在非重讀音中弱化而成的，音值是個中性元音。學界借用希伯來語術語稱之為,Shwa,。,,2.3 The sounds of English,,Received

26、Pronunciation (RP),,General American (GA),,,English consonants,The consonants of English can be described in the following manner:,,[p]?voiceless bilabial stop,,[b]?voiced bilabial stop,,[s]?voiceless alveolar fricative,,[z]?voiced alveolar fricative,English vowels,The description of English vowels

27、needs to fulfill four basic requirements:,,the height of tongue raising (,high,,,mid,,,low,);,,the position of the highest part of the tongue (,front,,,central,,,back,);,,the length or,tenseness,of the vowel (,tense,vs.,lax,or,long,vs.,short,), and,,lip-rounding,(,rounded,vs.,unrounded,).,We can now

28、 describe the English vowels in this way:,,[,??,] high front tense unrounded vowel,,[,?,] high back lax rounded vowel,,[,?,] mid central lax unrounded vowel,,[,?,] low back lax rounded vowel,3. From phonetics to phonology,Speech is a continuous process, so the vocal organs do not move from one sound

29、 segment to the next in a series of separate steps. Rather, sounds continually show the influence of their neighbors.,,For example,,map,,,lamb,.,3.1 Coarticulation,When such simultaneous or overlapping articulations are involved, we call the process,coarticulation,（協(xié)同發(fā)音）,.,,If the sound becomes more

30、 like the following sound, as in the case of,lamb,, it is known as,anticipatory,coarticulation,（逆化協(xié)同發(fā)音）,.,,If the sound shows the influence of the preceding sound, it is,perseverative,coarticulation,（重復性協(xié)同發(fā)音）,, as is the case of,map,.,,[p] is,aspirated,in,peak,and,unaspirated,in,speak,.,,This aspira

31、ted voiceless bilabial stop is thus indicated by the,diacritic,,h,, as [p,h,], whereas the unaspirated counterpart is transcribed as [p].,When we use a simple set of symbols in our transcription, it is called a,broad transcription,.,,The use of more specific symbols to show more phonetic detail is r

32、eferred to as a,narrow transcription,.,,Both are,phonetic transcriptions,so we put both forms in square brackets [ ].,,3.2 Phonemes,,Phonology,is not specifically concerned with the physical properties of the speech production system.,,Phoneticians are concerned with how sounds differ in the way the

33、y are pronounced while phonologists are interested in the patterning of such sounds and the rules that underlie such variations.,,E.g. [ t ] in tea [ i; ] front vowel,,[ t ] in too [ u; ] back vowel,,Crystal,（,1997,）,: ‘Phonological analysis relies on the principle that certain sound

34、s cause changes in the meaning of a word or phrase, whereas other sounds do not’.,,Minimal pairs,:,Minimal pairs are pairs of words that except for one phonemic difference sound alike. The one phoneme difference can make a significant difference in meaning between the two words. e.g. beat-bear, wet-

35、wit, ten-teen etc.,,Minimal pairs test,,Phonemes,,,Minimal pairs: Two words in a language which differ from each other by only one distinctive sound ( one phoneme) and which also differ in meaning. For example,,,the English words bear and pear are a minimal pair as they differ in meaning and t

36、heir initial phoneme / b / and / p / form a contrast.,,,Minimal pair :a?pair?of?words,?as,pin,and,,bin,,or,bet,and,bed,,differing?only?by one,sound,in?the?same?position?in?each,,,word,,?especially?when such?a?pair?is?taken,,as?evidence?for?the? existence?of?a,,phonemic contrast?between?the? two?so

37、unds.,,,E.g. [ b ] and [ p ]: bin / pin,,[ t ] and [ d ]: bet / bed,,,Phonemes:,,the smallest unit of speech that can be used to make one word different from another word, such as the ‘b’ and the ‘p’ in ‘big’ and ‘pig’ .,(,幫助理解）,,Phoneme: The smallest phonetic unit in a language that is capable of

38、conveying a distinction in meaning, as the,m,of,mat,and the,b,of,bat,in English.,（幫助理解）,,Phoneme: one of the set of speech sounds in any given language that serve to distinguish one word from another. A phoneme may consist of several phonetically distinct articulations, which are regarded as identic

39、al by native speakers, since one articulation may be substituted for another without any change of meaning. Thus /p/ and /b/ are separate phonemes in English because they distinguish such words as,pet,and,bet,,whereas the clear and dark /l/ sounds in,little,are not separate phonemes since they may b

40、e transposed without changing meaning.,（理解記憶）,,,The word ‘,phoneme,’ simply refers to a ‘unit of explicit sound contrast’: the existence of a minimal pair automatically grants phonemic status to the sounds responsible for the contrasts.,,By selecting one type of sound instead of another we can disti

41、nguish one word from another.,,,音素是人類語言在一次發(fā)音中從音質角度切分出來的最小的語音單位。,,,音位是具體語言或方言在一類發(fā)音中從能否區(qū)別詞或語素的角度劃分或歸并出來的最小的語音形式。,,,音位本身沒有意義，也不能直接區(qū)別意義，而是能區(qū)別語素或詞的語音形式，從而區(qū)別意義。,,,音位的歸納及歸納音位應遵循的原則,,音位的歸納通常是把一些音放在相同的語音環(huán)境中來進行替換比較，看它們能否區(qū)別 意義。 如果能夠區(qū)別意義，這些音就應分別歸納為不同的音位；如果不能區(qū)別意義，這些音則應該 歸屬同一個音位。,,以音素為材料，從音質,(,即音色,),的角度分析歸納出來的音位

42、叫“音質音位” 。其中從 輔音中歸納出來的音位叫“輔音音位”，從元音中歸納出來的音位叫 “元音音位”。,,Languages differ in the selection of contrastive sounds.,,In English, the distinction between aspirated [p,h,] and unaspirated [p] is not,phonemic,.,,In Chinese, however, the distinction between /p/ and /p,h,/ is phonemic.

Such variants of a phoneme are called,allophones,音位變體）,,of the same phoneme.,,In this c

47、ase the allophones are said to be in,complementary distribution,,（互補分配）,because they never occur in the same context:,,[p] occurs after [s] while [p,h,] occurs in other places.,/p/,?,[p] /?[s] _____,,[p,h,] elsewhere,,/p/ speak speech space speed spell,,[p,h,] pace pad page paid

50、音,/ l /,處于互補分布。,,l,ittle /,,te,ll,,音位對立,( phonemic contrast ),,,相似的音素若不是同一音位的音位變體，則它們處于音位對立。,,如：,p,et /,b,et,,,音位變體,( allophone):,同一音位在不同語言環(huán)境下的實現(xiàn)方式。,,,E.g.,,,音位,/ t /,在,stop,中的實現(xiàn)方式是,/ t /,,,音位,/ t /,在,top,中的實現(xiàn)方式是,/,t,h,,/,,,則,/ t /,和,/,t,h,,/,都是音位,/ t /,的音位變體,,,,,關于音位變體的注意點：,,,1,、音位和音位變體是一般與個別的關系。一個

51、音位中的任何一個音素都是變體。變體并不是相對于一個正體而言的。音位是一個類，變體是這個類下的成員。如：清晰邊音,【l】,，模糊邊音,【l】,和清輔音,【l】,都是音位,【l】,的變體。,,,2,、各個變體中往往要選一個來代表這個音位，所選者往往是最常見，受臨近音影響最小的那個變體。,,,3,、因為是特定系統(tǒng)的成員，不但要看他是什么，還要看他不是什么，如送氣音，不送氣音。因此，不同語言表面上相同的音實質是不同的。,,,語音近似原則：,,屬于一個音位的各個變體在語音上是近似的，至少本地人聽起來近似，否則，即使是互補關系也不能歸并為一個音位。,,如：世界， 商品， 鮮血，三角,,最小對立體：,( m

52、inimal pair ),,若兩個詞除了相同位置上的兩個音之外，其余的音都相同，則它們構成最小對立體。,,如：,pill / bill,,,因素和音位的區(qū)別,,音素是構成音節(jié)的最小單位或最小的語音片段。它是從音色的角度劃分出來的。,,音位是一個語音系統(tǒng)里能夠區(qū)別意義的最小語音單位，是按語音的辨意作用歸拿出的音類。,,成詞語素和不成詞語素就是看能不能獨立成詞，能的是成詞語素,,音位是一個具體的語音系統(tǒng)中能夠區(qū)別意義的最小的語音單位。其特點如下,: 1,、音位是屬于一個具體的語言的,,,如漢語音位不同于英語的音位。沒有超語言的音位,,,這也是音位區(qū)別于音素的根本所在。,,音位和音素是兩個不同而又

53、有聯(lián)系的概念。音素是從音質角度劃分出來的最小語音單位，音質不同,,,音素也就不同。而音位則是從區(qū)別詞的語音形式的角度確立的語音單位，這種確立只注意那些與意義的區(qū)別相對應的語音差別，而對那些與意義的區(qū)別無關的音質上的差別則不加以考慮。音位和音素的關系則表現(xiàn)為，音位是由一組彼此的差別沒有區(qū)別詞的語音形式作用而音感上又相似的音素概括而成的音類。 音位是抽象的，音素則是具體的。音位的抽象以具體的音素與音素之間的關系作為基礎。音素之間存在著兩種重要的關系，一是,",對立關系,",，一是,",互補關系,",。幾個音質不同的音素，只要處于互補關系，而且發(fā)音相似，就可以把它們看作是同一個音類的成員，歸并為一個

54、音位。在具體發(fā)音時，抽象的音位實現(xiàn)為具體的音素。 音位總是具體語言或方言的特定語音系統(tǒng)的成員，不存在超語言或超方言的音位。由于存在音位，在不同語言中的相同的音素，在不同的系統(tǒng)中所起的作用不一定相同。比如英語和漢語普通話都有輔音音素,[p],和,[p'],，英語里,[p],和,[p'],的差別不能區(qū)別意義，它們同屬于一個音位,/p/,；漢語普通話里,[p],和,[p'],的差別能夠區(qū)別意義，因而它們分屬,/p/,和,/p'/,兩個音位。,,音位是具體語言里有區(qū)別詞的語音作用形式的最小語音類型單位,;,音素是語言中音義結合的最小單位,,,再不能分解出更小的意義單位,;,二者關系,:,音素是從音質角

55、度劃分出來的最小語音單位,,,音質不同音素就不同,.,音位是從區(qū)別詞的語音形式的角度確立的語言類型單位,.,音位在音素的基礎上形成,,,是某種語言借助于音素來區(qū)別的詞的語音形式,,,近而區(qū)別詞義的工具,.,音素著眼于自然屬性,,,音位著眼于社會屬性,.,音節(jié)是音位和音位組合起來的最小結構單位,.,一個音節(jié)可以由一個音位構成,,,也可以由兩個或兩個以上的音位構成,.,音位是最小的能夠辨別意義的語音單位。例如：,boy,和,toy,語音上是通過,[b],和,[t],來顯示區(qū)別的，,[b],和,[t],起了辨別意義的作用，又因為,[b],和,[t],都已經是最小的無法繼續(xù)切分下去的語音，所以,[b]

56、,和,[t],是兩個因為。又譬如,kill,和,skill,中的,k,，實際發(fā)音稍有不同（不妨自己試試），國際音標可以分別記做,[k'],和,[k],（送氣的,k,和不送氣的,k,）,,[k],總是出現(xiàn)在,[s],之后而,[k'],不可能出現(xiàn)在,[s],之后，兩者出現(xiàn)的環(huán)境是對立的，因此，是同一音位的不同變體。,,,4.
