摘要

受美国影响的演唱口音，在这里被称为流行歌曲英语（PSE），在英语世界（及其他地区）的流行音乐中很常见。本文分析了区分新西兰英语（NZE）和美国英语（AmE）的两个变量（bath和nonprovocalic/r/）的发音。流行歌曲语音学（PoPS）语料库包括154名表演者，根据原籍国（新西兰和美国）和音乐流派（流行音乐和嘻哈音乐）进行结构化。对每个变量进行听觉分析，区分NZE和PSE/AmE变体。几乎所有的新西兰表演者至少在某些时候都采用PSE变体，在流行音乐中比在嘻哈音乐中更坚持美国模式。在美国，地区决定了嘻哈，但不是流行，艺术家的随机性程度。PSE代表了流行音乐的超地方规范，而嘻哈艺术家则倾向于使用他们自己的口音。（流行歌曲英语、演唱口音、说唱口音、超地方规范、非革命/r/、陷阱-浴缸分割、意向性、语言表演、流行音乐、嘻哈、反应风格、主动风格）*

Pop Song English as a supralocal norm

An American-influenced singing accent, referred to here as Pop Song English (PSE), is common in popular music throughout (and beyond) the Anglophone world. This article presents an analysis of the sung pronunciation of two variables (bath and nonprevocalic /r/) that distinguish New Zealand English (NZE) from American Englishes (AmE). The Phonetics of Popular Song (PoPS) corpus includes 154 performers, structured according to country of origin (NZ and the US) and musical genre (pop and hip hop). An auditory analysis was conducted for each variable, distinguishing between the NZE and PSE/AmE variants. Almost all New Zealand performers adopt the PSE variants at least some of the time, with greater adherence to the American model in pop than in hip hop. In the US, region determines hip hop, but not pop, artists’ degree of rhoticity. PSE represents a supralocal norm for pop music, while hip hop artists tend to use their ‘own accent’. (Pop Song English, singing accent, rap accent, supralocal norm, nonprevocalic /r/, trap–bath split, intentionality, language performance, pop music, hip hop, responsive style, initiative style)*
