声调对汉语辅音送气/不送气特征感知的影响

Effects of Chinese Tones on the Perception of Aspiration by Chinese Native Speakers and Japanese CFL Learners

文章考察了声调对汉语母语者和日本留学生感知汉语辅音送气/不送气特征的影响,发现:(1)声调类型对汉语母语者感知辅音的送气/不送气特征没有明显影响,支持语言经验决定辅音后接元音的起始音高和嗓音启动时间在辅音送气/不送气特征知觉中的作用的观点;(2)日本留学生容易把阴平音节中的不送气音知觉为送气音,支持第二语言语音习得的线索权衡理论。研究结果对于更深入地理解日本留学生感知汉语辅音送气/不送气特征的困难具有积极意义。

This study examined the influence of Chinese tones on the perception of aspiration by Chinese native speakers and Japanese CFL learners.It was found that the onset fundamental frequency of different tones did not affect the perception of Chinese native speakers,which supported the view of the learnability of covariation between the two acoustic features.Furthermore,an unaspirated consonant in the first tone was more likely to be perceived as an aspirated one by Japanese students,which accorded with the cue-weighting model.
