摘要

摘要本文首次对阿拉伯语多音节缩略语进行了研究。它的目的是找出现代标准阿拉伯语使用这种语音机制的程度，这种机制通常与重音计时语言有关。数据来自10名约旦人，他们在一个载体句中朗读6组代表阿拉伯语6个单音节的单词。通过对180个元音的声学分析，发现单音节词中的元音明显长于多音节词中的元音。然而，双音节和三音节单词中元音的差异要小得多。研究结果表明，多音节缩短并不是维持重音定时语言重音定时节奏的机制。相反，它似乎是一种普遍的语音特征，在不同程度上与语言的节奏相称。

Polysyllabic shortening in Modern Standard Arabic

Abstract This is the first study that investigates polysyllabic shortening in Arabic. It aims to find out the extent to which Modern Standard Arabic employs this phonetic mechanism, which is usually associated with stress-timed languages. Data were collected from 10 Jordanian speakers reading 6 sets of words representing the six monophthongs in Arabic in a carrier sentence. Based on the acoustic analysis of 180 vowels, it was found that the vowels in monosyllabic words were significantly longer than their counterparts in polysyllabic words. However, the differences between the vowels in disyllabic and trisyllabic words were much smaller. Findings suggest that polysyllabic shortening is not invoked as a mechanism to maintain the stress-timed rhythm of stress-timed languages. Rather, it seems to be a universal phonetic feature that applies in different degrees that are commensurate with the rhythm of the language in question.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Semitic Studies was established in 1955 and since then has built up a reputation as one of the leading international academic journals in its field. Semitic Studies has always been understood by the editors to include the modern as well as the ancient Near (Middle) East, with special emphasis on research into the languages and literatures of the area. The editors continue to maintain the policy of ensuring that each volume contains items of interest to Orientalists and Biblical Scholars. Extensive reviews of selected books, as well as general review notices, remain a feature of the Journal.
