摘要
Experiments were conducted to test the effects of surface structure syntactic boundaries on the durations of segments in speech production. Ten speakers of American English read sets of phonetically-matched sentences containing key words just prior to phrase boundaries of varying strength. The experiments were designed to assess the individual and relative contributions of constituents occurring before versus after the syntactic boundary. Measurements of segment durations were obtained using computerized techniques of acoustical analysis. The results showed that, in single-clause sentences, constituents terminating at the boundary exert a significantly greater effect on the key segment durations than constituents initiating at the boundary. The results are discussed in terms of a theory of syntactic boundary strength. © 1979, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
