摘要

此篇文章最主要是要利用心理語言學及實驗聲響學來探討介音在漢語音節所表現的結構議題。由心理語言學的自然口語語誤語料中發現出以下驗證：1、在漢語音節底層結構中，音節結構無需被表述，也尚未成形。真正輸入在底層結構中的結構並非有階級制的音節結構，而是以一串串音素所排列成的平坦音串所表述。2、在表層結構中，並沒有一個決定性單一的階級制的音節結構。目前由自然口語語誤語料顯現出介音依歸於輔音或是韻母大大取決於本身漢語在音韻上的合法排列性以及表層結構中所運用到的語音發音部位。然而，由聲學儀器探測的初步發現是認爲介音在音節結構上被歸依於輔音之上的第二發音部位。這兩項實驗中所得到的結果產生不一致的效應，尚需更進一步之釐清。

This paper aims to use psycholinguistic and acoustic evidence to re-examine the syllable-structure status of prenuclear glides in Mandarin. Evidence from speech errors yields the following findings: (1) The syllable structure does not need to be represented in the underlying representation (input). The structure of underlying phonological input is a string of segments in a flat structure, i.e. morpheme structure, not syllable structure. (2) The surface/output syllable structure is not unified. Whether the prenuclear glide forms a unit with an onset or rhyme is largely dependent on the phonotactic constraints and articulatory gestures. However, evidence from an acoustic analysis of the duration differences among a number of syllables shows that the prenuclear glide is structurally part of the onset as a secondary articulation. Such a discrepancy between acoustics and speech production requires further investigation.
