摘要

最近的研究表明,反问句(RQs)在音质、节奏和语调方面具有一定的韵律特征,这将它们与真正的信息寻求型问题(ISQs)区别开来。本文主要研究德语中韵律线索与修辞意义之间的相互作用,以及词汇和形态句法手段之间的相互作用。这里报告的生成实验解决了三个研究问题,简而言之:(i)说话者是否更喜欢特定的RQ句法结构,(ii)他们是否使用特定的词汇和形态句法手段来表达修辞意义,(iii)这些手段与韵律线索之间的相互作用是什么。答案是:(i)是(wh-questions), (ii)是(尤其是话语标记(dip)),以及(iii)我们发现了强化修辞信息的附加效应。当使用修辞意义的词汇(或形态句法)线索时,我们不会同时观察到韵律意义的减少或缺乏。例如,当DiP存在时,RQ仍将具有典型的核重音和边缘音,即线索以添加的方式使用,而不是以排他的方式使用。然而,有些rq只在韵律中被标记,没有任何词汇或形态句法线索。

The interaction of discourse markers and prosody in rhetorical questions in German
Recent research has shown that rhetorical questions (RQs) have certain prosodic characteristics in terms of voice quality, tempo, and intonation, which distinguish them from genuine, information-seeking questions (ISQs). This paper focuses on the interaction between prosodic cues to rhetorical meaning on the one hand, and lexical and morpho-syntactic means, on the other, in German. The production experiment reported on here addresses three research questions, in short: (i) do speakers prefer a specific syntactic construction for an RQ, (ii) do they make use of specific lexical and morpho-syntactic means to signal rhetorical meaning, and (iii) what is the interaction between those means and prosodic cues. The answers are: (i) yes (wh-questions), (ii) yes (especially discourse markers (DiPs)), and (iii) we find an additive effect enforcing the rhetorical message. When lexical (or morpho-syntactic) cues to rhetorical meaning are used, we do not observe a reduction in or lack of prosodic means at the same time. For example, when a DiP is present, an RQ will still have a typical nuclear accent and edge tone, i.e., cues are used in an additive, rather than an exclusive way. There are, however, RQs that are marked only in the prosody, without any lexical or morpho-syntactic cues present.
