谈到现代汉语的音节问题,记得曾讨论过这样的现象,比如“他们刚刚吃过了”这个句子,可以将“刚刚”移到句首说成“刚刚他们吃过了。”但“他们刚吃过了”却不能说成“刚他们吃过了。” 对于上述现象,大家都认为可以从音节上去解释,只要将“刚”扩展成双音节就能站得住。给人的印象是句首的单音节站不住,或者说得严密一些,主谓结构(如上例“他们吃过了”)前一般不能出现单音节。这个解释还可以进一步从音节节奏规律来论证。语音节奏和音乐节奏有相通的基础,按通常语感,在语流中双音节较稳重,单音节较活泼,且往往跟随一个停顿。比如“相信群众相信党”是现代汉语中典型的七字句节奏,可以标示为××|××|××|×○”,中间没有明显的停顿,而若说成“相信党相信群众”,节奏就会成“××|×○|××|××”,中间由于含有单音节“党”,就在随后出现一个停顿。按照这个规律来看,“刚刚他们吃过了”节奏形式开头为“××|××|……”,很顺畅;而“刚他们吃过了”则成了“×○|××|……”,句首的单音节和句中单音节情况不一样,它前面也是一个停顿,所以显得突兀,不顺口。 When it comes to syllables in modern Chinese, remember to talk about such phenomena as the phrase “they’ve just eaten,” saying “just” to the sentence as “they have just eaten.” But “they just Eaten ”can not be said as“ they just had eaten. ”For all the above-mentioned phenomena, we all think that we can explain from syllables, and we can just stand by expanding“ Gang ”into two-syllable. The impression is that the monosyllable at the beginning of the sentence does not stand, or rather, the syllable can not normally appear before the subject-predicate structure (as in the previous example, “They Have Eaten”). This explanation can be further demonstrated from the rhythm of syllables. Phonetic rhythm and music rhythm have the same basis, according to the usual sense of language, in syllables, syllables are more stable, monosyllable more lively, and often follow a pause. For example, “believing that the masses believe the party” is a typical seven-character rhythm in modern Chinese that can be labeled as “××××××××× ○” without any obvious pause in the middle. If “believing that the party believes in the masses” The rhythm will be “×× × × × × × ×”, in the middle due to the monosyllabic “party”, followed by a pause .According to this law, “they just eat” rhythm form at the beginning As “×× | ×× | ......”, very smooth; and “just eat them” became “× ○ | ×× | ......”, the beginning of the monosyllabic and monosyllables sentence is not the same , It is also in front of a pause, it appears abrupt, not easy to follow.
