Organs of speech 發(fā)音器官 The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important areas or cavities: The pharyngeal cavity咽腔——the throat The oral cavity口腔——the mouth The nasal cavity 鼻腔——the nose Vibration of the vocal cords (聲帶) results in a quality of speech sounds called voicing 濁音,which is a feature of all vowels 元音 and some consonants 輔音。雙元音) The constants 輔音 Broad transcription: transcription with lettersymbols only. (in dictionaries and teaching textbooks) 用一個符號來表示一個語音的標(biāo)音方式叫做寬式標(biāo)音法,這種音標(biāo)法常見于詞典和教科書?! ≡趯捠綐?biāo)音的基礎(chǔ)上, 再用變音符號表示同一語音在不同的語音環(huán)境下不同發(fā)音的標(biāo)音法叫做窄式標(biāo)音法。 it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages. 語音學(xué)研究的是人類所有語言的語音,旨在對語音進(jìn)行描述和分類。 it aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic munication. 音系學(xué)研究的重點(diǎn)是特定語言的語音體系,語音表達(dá)意義作用。 Phonology is concerned with the speech sounds which distinguish meaning. 音位是音系學(xué)研究的單位,是抽象的概念, 每一個音位是一組語音特征的集合體,音位具有區(qū)別意義的作用?! honemic contrast, plementary distribution, and minimal pair 音位對立,互補(bǔ)分布,最小對立對 rope and robe that /P/ and /b/ can occur in the same environments and they distinguish meaning?! ?P/ and /Ph/ these two allophones of the same phoneme are said to be in plementary distribution. When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair.
