Seven people consisting of two natives and five Chinese have read a list of sentences and their voices were recorded. A software program is used to analyze their voices. In spectrograms generated by Praat, the connection between formant values and articulation features is used to investigate how native speakers pronounce these two vowels and what the differences are between native speakers and Chinese speakers. Through this investigation, it is discovered that Chinese speakers have lower tongue position in [i] and their tongues are more forward in [I], thus making it hard to differentiate these two vowels. Moreover, the length of [i] is much shorter than those in American pronunciation, suggesting that Chinese speakers differentiate [i] and [I] largely by length. However, the comparison of Chinese speakers and native speakers proved otherwise.展开更多

In the course of teaching design of art in colleges and universities, it is necessary to change the teaching mode in time to adapt to the new teaching development environment. In the era of digital development, we need to give full attention to the optimization of art design teaching in colleges and universities, and run new teaching techniques. This paper mainly analyzes the advantages and importance of the digital art design in colleges and universities, and then discusses the application of digital technology in the art design teaching and the concrete teaching optimiTatiun strategy in detail. Hoping to through this theoretical research, contribute to the improvement of the quality of art design teaching.展开更多
