INDEPENDENT DEPRESSOR AND REGISTER EFFECTS IN WU DIALECT TONOLOGY: EVIDENCE FROM WENZHOU TONE SANDHI
从温州方言变调看吴方言声调学中互相独立的压抑机制和因域作用
Phil Rose

Abstract 摘要
This paper presents an analysis based on new acoustic data from tones and tone sandhi in Wenzhou dialect. The data provide evidence for the independent existence of a Depresssor as well as the Tonal Register and Tonal melodic component in the tonology. For example, a convex [343 or 342] pitch is shown to result from a depressor effect on a tone with high falling pitch. Comparisons are drawn with acoustics of other Wu dialects and Zulu. It is suggested that 'murmur' in many Wu dialects is actually Depression, but that Depression is not associated with non-vocalic segments, as it typically is in some African tone languages.

本文是根据在对温州方言的声调和连续变调观察中获得的新的声学数据所作的分析。这些数据证明压抑机制，跟调[音]域调势一様，是声调学中一个独立的成分。例如，本文显示一个高降的音调会由于压抑机制的作用而变为先升后降[343 或 342]。本文将温州方言声调的声学特征与若干吴方言和袓鲁语作了比较。本文建意许多吴方言中所谓的 murmur（"浊气流"）实际上是压抑机制的结果，但这种压抑机制并不象在一些非洲声调语言中常见的那様与非元音性成分有关。
