亞齊語口腔元音的儀器分析

An Instrumental Analysis of Acehnese Oral Vowels

本研究是對亞齊語口腔單元音和雙元音的儀器分析。本文的討論建立在Asyik (1987) 對於這些元音的描述之上，包括十個單元音和十二個雙元音，發音人為北亞齊方言地區的十位女性。這些目標元音置於常用詞中，並藉由圖片和提問引導而出。我們使用 PRAAT 4.6.12 版本 (Boersma & Weenink 2007) 對總計 660 頻次的元音進行了分析。單元音的分析結果基本支持Asyik (1987) 的分析，只有 /u/ 和 /ɔ/ 例外，這兩個元音的位置比較靠前。至於雙元音，發音人的 /ɛə/ 有向長元音發展的趨勢，而Asyik 描述的其他雙元音則出現不同的尾音。

This study is an instrumental analysis of Acehnese oral monophthongs and diphthongs. It is based on Asyik’s (1987) description of these vowels. Ten monophthongs and twelve diphthongs were produced by ten female North Aceh dialect speakers. The target vowels were placed in common words and were elicited with the aid of pictures and leading questions. A total of 660 tokens of the vowels were analyzed using PRAAT version 4.6.12 (Boersma & Weenink 2007). The results for the monophthongs generally support Asyik’s (1987) description of these vowels with the exception of /u/ and /ɔ/ which appeared to have advanced in the vowel space. For the diphthongs, there was a tendency for /ɛə/ to be realized as a long monophthong by the speakers, while some of the other diphthongs described by Asyik appeared to have different off-glides.
