Abstract

Abstract This paper presents both distributional and acoustic phonetic evidence for iambic stress in Tetsǫ́t'ıné (ISO: CHP), a Dene (Athapaskan) language with contrastive vowel length and four contrastive tones. In our acoustic study, we find that the primary correlate of stress in Tetsǫ́t'ıné is duration, whereas intensity plays a secondary but statistically significant role. There was no statistically significant effect on F0 in our results. We discuss our results in relation to several proposals regarding the typology of stress systems. Based on the Functional Load Hypothesis (Berinstein 1979) and Dispersion Theory (Flemming 1995, 2001), we find that our results are to some extent unexpected. We suggest that our results are most consistent with the Iambic–Trochaic Law (Hayes 1995), which predicts that iambic stress systems prefer to use duration as their primary stress correlate.
Tetsǫ́t’ıné重音的声学研究:量敏语气语言中的安姆比重音
摘要本文提出了Tetsǫ́t'ıné(ISO/CHP)中抑扬格重音的分布和声学语音证据,TetsDź。在我们的声学研究中,我们发现Tetsǫ́t'ıné中压力的主要相关性是持续时间,而强度起着次要但具有统计学意义的作用。在我们的结果中,对F0没有统计学上的显著影响。我们讨论了关于应力系统类型的几个建议的结果。基于功能负荷假说(Berinstein 1979)和离散理论(Flemming 19952001),我们发现我们的结果在某种程度上是出乎意料的。我们认为,我们的结果与Iambic–Trochaic定律(Hayes 1995)最为一致,该定律预测抑扬格重音系统更喜欢使用持续时间作为其主要重音相关性。

期刊介绍: Phonology, published three times a year, is the only journal devoted exclusively to the discipline, and provides a unique forum for the productive interchange of ideas among phonologists and those working in related disciplines. Preference is given to papers which make a substantial theoretical contribution, irrespective of the particular theoretical framework employed, but the submission of papers presenting new empirical data of general theoretical interest is also encouraged. The journal carries research articles, as well as book reviews and shorter pieces on topics of current controversy within phonology.
