中国大学生英汉[n][l]感知研究

Research on the Perception of[n]and[l]in Mandarin and English by Chinese College Students

通过辨认对比实验和范畴感知实验,考察冀鲁官话母语者和西南官话母语者对汉语普通话和英语中鼻音[n]和边音[l]的辨认和区分,对比被试对[n]、[l]的感知模式。实验结果表明,冀鲁官话母语者能够准确区分普通话和英语[n]、[l],对[n]、[l]的感知属于范畴性的感知;西南官话母语者因受到母语语音特征的影响,对普通话和英语[n]、[l]的区分有一定的困难,对[n]、[l]的感知属于非范畴性的感知。母语的语音特征会影响学习者对二语语音的习得,研究验证了二语语音感知理论中的语音感知同化模型。

Through the experiments of identification contrast and categorical perception,the identification and discrimination of nasal[n]and lateral[l]in Mandarin and English of Jilu Mandarin speakers and Xi’nan Mandarin speakers are researched and their perceptual patterns are compared.The results show that Jilu Mandarin speakers can exactly discriminate[n]and[l]in Mandarin and English whilst Xi’nan Mandarin speakers cannot.It is concluded that the phonetic features of mother tongue can influence learners’acquisition of the phonetics in the second language.The conclusion validates Phonetic Assimilation Model.
