重音对不同方言区英语学习者元音间塞音的影响研究

The Effects of Stress on the Intervocalic Stops Produced by Learners from Different Dialect Areas

重点研究重音对中国不同方言区英语学习者以及本族语者所发的元音间塞音的清浊和送气情况的影响。结果表明当塞音位于重读音节首时,本族语者和中国学生都将清塞音发成送气清塞音和部分浊化的清塞音;本族语者将浊塞音发成部分浊塞音和浊塞音,而中国学生将其发成不送气清塞音和部分浊塞音。当塞音位于弱读音节首时,本族语者将/p/、/k/主要发成不送气清塞音,将/k/发成闪音,将浊塞音主要发成浊音;中国学生仍将清塞音发成送气清音;苏州方言区学习者将浊塞音发成浊音的比例低于本族语者但高于江淮方言区的学生,说明苏州学生在习得英语塞音时受普通话和苏州方言的双重影响。

The effects of stress were investigated on the voice and aspiration of the intervocalic stops produced by Chinese learners of English and native speakers from America. The results indicated that when stops lied in the initial of a stressed syllable,NSs and Chinese learners produced the voiceless stops in the form of aspirated voiceless and partially voiced stops. NSs produced the voiced stops into partially voiced and fully voiced,but Chinese learners produced unaspirated stops and partially voiced. When stops lied in the initial of an unstressed syllable,/ p /,/ k / were mainly presented by unaspirated voiceless stops,and / k / by flap,a type of voiced stop by NSs. However,aspiration was still the major feature for voiceless stops in Chinese learners. With voiced stops,in unstressed syllable,the proportion of voiced stops produced by learners from Suzhou dialect area was between that of NSs and those from Jianghuai dialect area,which indicated the interactive influence of Mandarin and Suzhou dialect on the acquisition of English stops by learners in Suzhou dialect area.
