The conflicting tone patterns of Chinese regulated verse
中国律诗音调格式的冲突
Ove Lorentz 罗梧伟

Abstract 摘要
The strict, but apparently asymmetric, tone patterns of Chinese Regulated Verse, lǜshī, can be seen to arise from a conflict between the tonal rhyme pattern and a basic underlying pattern of alternating similar and dissimilar tones within lines. This conflict is resolved by a transformation. The proposed tone marking of ‘metrical trees’ is dispensed with in this solution, but hierarchies representing the relative strength of constituents within a sentence are still needed to account for the prevalent reading rhythm, the corresponding syntactic patterning, and constraints on the occurrence of tones in strong and weak positions.

中国律诗这种严格但不对称的音调格式可以看成起因于声韵格式和字里行间相似与相异的基本音调转换时的一种冲突．这种冲突可以用某种转换的方法来解决．在这个解决方法中, 被用来注明音调的＂韵律树＂是可以免除的．但是为了要说明一般的读韵相对应的文章构成法的格式和产生强音与弱音位置的限制, 我们仍然需要一套体系来解释句子中组成要素之间的相对强度。
