摘要

文献中承认,纽卡斯尔英语的特点是使用升调作为默认语调,泰恩赛德英语是这些变体的一部分,显示出典型的英国北部城市语调(UNBI)。之前在NECTE语料库上对纽卡斯尔英语进行的一项研究发现了两种主要的上升类型:一方面是简单的上升或上升平台,另一方面是上升的平调。在这项研究中,我们假设这两种类型的升音之间的区别是语音上的而不是语音上的区别,这意味着每种类型的升音都有特定的功能。我们通过一项基于感知实验的初步研究来验证这一假设。该测试没有显示出两种升音之间的明显语音差异,但证实了纽卡斯尔英语属于UNBI组。测试的结果将我们引向另一个假设,即我们的一个上升轮廓实际上是一个被称为HRT(高上升终端或上升线)的轮廓。HRT确实已经开始通过UNBI的各种变体传播,这将是纽卡斯尔的情况,在那里两种语调之间存在共存。如果是这样的话,那么可以说两种类型的升音之间存在语音上的区别,因为已经证明hrt具有相互作用的功能。

The various rising tones in Newcastle English: a phonological distinction?
It is acknowledged in the literature that Newcastle English is characterised by the use of rising tones as the default tone, Tyneside English being part as such of those varieties displaying a typical Urban Northern British Intonation (UNBI). A previous study on Newcastle English performed on the NECTE corpus allowed to make out two main types of rises: simple rises or rise-plateaus on the one hand, and up-stepped level tones on the other hand. In this study we hypothesise that the difference between these two types of rises is a phonological rather than a phonetic distinction, meaning that each type of rise has a specific function. We tested this hypothesis by carrying out a pilot study based on a perception experiment. The test fails to show a clear phonological difference between the two types of rises but confirms that Newcastle English belongs to the UNBI group. The results of the test lead us towards another hypothesis, namely that one of our rising contours would actually be a contour known as HRT (High Rising Terminal or Uptalk). HRT has indeed begun to spread through UNBI varieties, and this would be the case in Newcastle, where there would be a coexistence between the two intonations. If this were to be the case, then it could be said that there is a phonological distinction between the two types of rises since it has been demonstrated that HRTs have interactional functions.
