谈日语中名词的声调

日语的声调为高低型,一个假名代表一个音节。其中,名词按音节数排列起来,可分成平板式和起伏式,当名词后接助词、助动词时,原声调若是平板式时,则句节平接;若为起伏式,后接的助词、助动词均要低读。

The Tone of Japanese Noun

Japanese has two different kinds of tones: high tone and low tone .One kana stands for one syllable.Arranged according to the numbers of syllables,the noun can be divided into flatly-pronounced nouns and undulatedly-pronounced nouns .When a noun is followed by an auniliary word or an auniliary verb,if its original tone is flat, phrases of the sentence should be connected flatly; if its original tone is undulated,the auniliary word or auniliary verb should be read in low tone.
