Naturalness

自然性

 

A notion introduced into (especially generative) linguistic theory to refer to the phonetic plausibility of an analysis, which is seen as an important criterion in evaluating analyses alongside such other criteria as simplicity. An analysis, it is argued, must make phonetic sense, if it is to have any explanatory role in relation to the speaker’s behavior, e.g. such factors as relative ease of articulation must be taken into account.

 

语言学(特别是生成语言学)理论引入这一概念,指一种分析法在语音上显得合理;与简单性标准一起被视为评价各种分析法的重要标准。一般认为,一种分析法要能对说话人的行为作出解释,就必须在语音上讲得通,例如,必须考虑发音动作的相对难易度这类因素。
