英语专业学生朗读中多音节动词重音位移现象研究——以带屈折后缀-ing和-ed的单词为例

为帮助中国英语学习者提高对英语单词重音的认识,本研究以大学一年级英语专业学生语音过关考试为素材,分析英语专业学生朗读中带屈折后缀-ing和-ed的多音节动词重音位移现象。研究发现,学生朗读中带屈折后缀-ing和-ed的多音节动词重音位移现象较为普遍,多数学生倾向于将重音位移至单词的倒数第二个音节,英汉语音体系的差异、汉语重音模式以及同根名词的发音导致了这一现象。研究结果对我国英语口语教学有一定的启示作用。

This study explores word stress misplacement in English multi-syllabic verbs with inflectional affixes of"-ing"and"-ed"in the oral reading of Chinese college English majors.The findings indicate that improper assignment of word stress is quite common among English majors,and most students mistakenly shifted the word stress of English multisyllabic verbs to the last but one syllable.The causes of word stress misplacement are identified in relation to the discrepancy between the phonological systems of Chinese and English,the influence of Chinese word stress modes and the noun cognates of corresponding English verbs.
