摘要
非洲语言数量众多、类型丰富,是世界语言研究的宝库.研究非洲语言的音系有助于深入了解音系共性和个性.非洲语言在音位、区别特征、音系规则、音节结构、声调、重音、元音和谐、语调等方面为音系理论的构建和检验提供了丰富的材料.论文梳理了与音系理论发展密切相关的非洲语言音系研究成果,从结构主义音位学、区别特征理论、音系规则交互、音节理论、自主音段音系学、音系主干理论、语调音系学、词汇音系学、优选论等方面阐释了非洲语言音系研究的理论贡献.在音系理论发展过程中,非洲语言音系研究起到了举足轻重的作用.
Abstract
African languages are numerous and typologically rich,and thus constitute a treasure trove of linguistic data.The study of African language phonology is conducive to better understanding phonological universals and variation.In terms of phoneme,distinctive feature,phonological rule,syllable struc-ture,tone,stress,vowel harmony and intonation,African languages pro-vide abundant materials for the the construction and testing of phonological theory.This paper reviews the achievements in phonological theory develop-ment with respect to African language phonology,and explains the theoreti-cal contributions of phonological research on African languages from the perspectives of structuralist phonemics,distinctive feature theory,phono-logical rule interaction,syllable theory,autosegmental phonology,phono-logical skeleton,intonational phonology,lexical phonology and Optimality Theory.The phonological research of African languages plays a noteworthy role in the development of phonological theory.
