1.导言本文的目的在于揭示说话人语言知识的一个方面。我有理由认为,关于词的语音形态(phonetic shape)的信息是以三维物体的形式储存于说话人的记忆之中,准确地说,我们可以把这个三维物体勾画成一本螺旋丝装订的活页本。我意识到这是一个相当过激的主张,很可能引起语音学家们深深的怀疑,因为他们在对语音和语音产生过程的研究中,从来没遇到过螺旋丝装订的活页本之类的东西。 1. Introduction The purpose of this article is to reveal one aspect of the speaker’s linguistic knowledge. I have reason to think that the information about the phonetic shape of a word is stored in the speaker’s memory as a three-dimensional object. To be precise, we can sketch the three-dimensional object as a spiral bound booklet . I realized that this is a very radical proposition that is likely to arouse deep skepticism from phonologists who have never encountered a spiral-bound loose-leaf book in the study of speech and speech production thing.
