摘要

本研究探讨了巴西葡萄牙语中口鼻元音对比的性质。虽然元音鼻音性是语言中的一个显著特性,但学者们对这种特性是否构成语音对比的基础存在分歧。在重度鼻音化元音(即鼻附录)的右边缘存在类似辅音的鼻共振,这导致了一种分析,即鼻元音可能是上下文鼻音化规则的产物(例如,Camara Jr 19701971),因此本质上是共发音的。虽然大多数文献都是从生产的角度来探讨这个问题的,但本研究分析了BP听众与口语听众相比如何感知鼻元音。如果元音鼻音是共发音的,说话者应该像其他共发音一样感知它;也就是说,他们会在感知上补偿元音的鼻音性,将鼻音性归因于鼻辅音元素,并将元音听为基本上口头的(Beddor&Krakow 1999)。然而,如果鼻音是音位的,就不应该引起补偿。一项强迫选择比较任务被提交给一组43名BP听众,他们必须比较有和没有阑尾的配对刺激的元音鼻音。结果表明,参与者在感知上并没有补偿元音鼻音。对比的实质在于与鼻音相关的元音质量变化和鼻阑尾的存在。

Perceptual Compensation of Vowel Nasality in Brazilian Portuguese
This study explores the nature of the oral-nasal vowel contrast in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). While vowel nasality is a salient property in the language, scholars differ on whether this property forms the basis of a phonological contrast. The presence of a consonant-like nasal resonance at the right edge of the heavily nasalized vowels (i.e., nasal appendix) leads to an analysis that nasal vowels may be product of a contextual nasalization rule (e.g., Camara Jr 1970, 1971), thus coarticulatory in nature. While most of the literature explores the issue from the perspective of production, the present study analyzes how BP listeners perceive nasal vowels in comparison to oral counterparts. If vowel nasality is coarticulatory, speakers should perceive it as they would other coarticulation; namely, they would perceptually compensate for vowel nasality, attributing the nasality to the nasal consonant element and hearing the vowel as essentially oral (Beddor & Krakow 1999). If the nasality is phonemic, however, it should not induce compensation. A forced-choice comparison task was presented to a group of 43 BP listeners, who had to compare nasality in vowels of paired stimuli with and without the appendix. Results show that participants did not perceptually compensate for vowel nasality. The substance of the contrast lies in the combination of vowel quality changes associated with nasality and the presence of a nasal appendix.
