功能性是英语语调的基本特征之一,在研究领域,英语语调功能分为语法功能、表态功能、重音功能和语篇功能四类。基于语调功能对国内大学英语听力教材中的英语语调应用情况进行的归纳和数据统计显示：英语本族语者倾向于借助语调实现交际意图;降调的使用频率最高;语调与句型之间没有规约关系,其选择依赖交际语境。基于语调功能和EFL语境的三种英语语调教学策略有助于提高学生的英语交际能力。

Functionality functional is one of the basic characteristics of English intonation. In research, its functions are divided into such four categories as grammatical function, attitudinal function, accentual function and discourse function. Based on intonation function, a summary of English intonation application in college English listening materials and related statistics show that native speakers tend to use intonation to achieve communication purposes;use frequency of falling tone ranks the first;there is no one-to-one relationship between intonation type and sentence type and the choice of intonation relies on communication contexts. A trial of three kinds of English intonation teaching strategies within EFL learning environment will contribute to students’ improvement of communicative abilities.

有效传递信息是英语教学和学习的终极目标之一，语调短语是影响信息传递有效性的重要因素之一。英语专业学生语调短语产出中存在句中不停顿、句中停顿过多、停顿位置错误、语调短语内部音高下倾趋势不普遍、音高域窄等不足。语调短语产出不正确不仅会减少信息传递量、破坏信息完整性、转换信息焦点及引起歧义，而且会使表达显得单调、不自然。科任教师应在今后的教学中注重学生语调短语意识的培养，强化学生语调短语运用能力的训练。

To transmit the information effectively is one of the ultimate goals in EFL teaching and learning.There are some mistakes in Chinese EFL learners’ production of intonational phrase.Mistakes such as making no pause within a sentence, pausing too much within a sentence or pausing at wrong locations exist widely.There are less downward pitch and narrower pitch range within an intonation phrase.These mistakes not only reduce the amount of information conveyed, destroy the wholeness of the information, shift the information focus, bring about ambi-guity, but also leave the impression of monotonousness and dullness on listeners in information transmission and make the speech sound unnatural.Teachers should pay attention to cultivating the students’ consciousness of in-tonational phrase and strengthen students’ ability of using intonational phrase in the future teaching.

文章从语音语调的种族差异、性别差异和社会阶层差异三方面探讨语音语调和社会地位的相互关系,并以《卖花女》为例,分析语音语调在不同社会地位中的体现,为人际交流和语言的正确运用提供参考。

英语语音语调网络教学平台开发的目的是突出主要因子,客观、能动、有效地干预与控制英语语音语调的习得,使语音语调习得效果达到预期目标。在对英语语音语调网络教学平台进行需求分析的基础上,详细提出了该平台的功能及系统的重点模块的设计思路,进而运用软件工程方法和应用数据库技术分别设计了该网络教学平台的前台功能模块和网络教学平台的后台功能模块。

A network teaching platform of English pronunciation and intonation is developed in the present study so that the English phonological acquisition is effectively, creatively and objectively interfered and monitored by taking the advantage of the major factors and the teaching goals are achieved as expected effectively. On the basis of the need analyses of the teaching platform, the present study presents in details its functions and the design of its important module in the system. The software engineering approach and the applied database technology are employed in the designs of the foreground processing module and the daemon module of the teaching platform respectively.

实验通过安阳方言中的无标记疑问句与陈述句的对比以及与普通话中带语气助词"吗"的疑问句进行对比,采用数据量化与对比的研究方法,对安阳方言中无标记疑问句的语调问题进行了考察。研究发现:安阳方言中的疑问句在没有语气助词辅助表达疑问语气的情况下,主要依靠语调的上扬来表达疑问语气,而且句末音节承载的语调信息最大,声调叠加的方式为"连续叠加"。而普通话中带有语气助词的疑问由语调和句末语气助词共同作用来表达疑问语气。

In this study, the unmarked interrogative sentence in Anyang dialect was contrasted with declarative sentence and the interrogative sentence with a question mark "Ma". It was studied through quantitative data and comparison. Conclusions showed that: In the absence of question marks, we mainly rely on rising intonation to express the interrogative mood in Anyang dialect, and the last syllable of sentence carrying most of the interrogative intonation. The type of tonal addition is successive addition. On the contrary, in Mandarin, we express interrogative mood by the question mark and the intonation.
