韩语母语者汉语普通话阴平—阳平调感知能力的发展研究

The perception of Mandarin tones by Korean native speakers

本文考察了初级、中级和高级韩语母语者对汉语普通话阴平—阳平连续统的感知情况,结果发现:(1)韩语母语者对汉语声调的感知会受语境内语音线索与自身语言经验的共同影响;(2)韩语母语者汉语声调的知觉表现是动态、不断发展且具有可塑性的。高级水平韩语母语者感知阴平和阳平的范畴化程度以及声调信息加工速度均优于初、中级水平学习者,中级水平学习者汉语声调的范畴化感知程度以及加工速度相对于初级水平学习者也有所提高。此外,调形在汉语声调感知中的作用随着学习者水平的提高也有所增强。但即使是高水平的韩语母语者,其在范畴化感知程度、调形变化敏感程度以及声调信息的加工速度等方面和汉语母语者相比仍存在较大的差异。

In this paper,the perception of Mandarin tones by Korean native speakers(KNS)is investigated as compared to that of Chinese native speakers,in the light of the development of perception ability of Mandarin tones.It is found that,1)KNS'perception of Mandarin tones is determined by a combination of the acoustic information from the context and the influence of linguistic experience.2)The advanced learners of KNS perform better in the degree of categorical perception and the information processing of Mandarin tones than the elementary and the intermediate KNS learners,and the intermediate KNS learners better than the elementary.Besides,the sensitivity to pitch direction during the perception process of Mandarin tones increases with the improvement of KNS'Chinese proficiency.However,the degree of categorical perception,the sensitivity to pitch direction and the information processing of Mandarin tones are different between KNS and Chinese native speakers.
