Comparative Study On Japanese Speakers’ Acquisition Of Chinese Monosyllabic And Bi-syllabic Tone

The Chinese language acquisition of Japanese native speakers consists of speech,vocabulary,grammar,text,rhetoric and other parts.In the process of Chinese acquisition,the first part is the Chinese voice.Chinese is a tonal language.The process of acquiring Chinese phonetics includes both the acquisition of Chinese initials and finals,as well as the acquisition of tones.Tone plays an important role in distinguishing Chinese meanings and plays an important role in the Chinese phonetic system.However,in the process of voice teaching for Japanese students,there is a situation in which the tone teaching is ignored.Corresponding to this situation,there are many unique errors in the tone learning of Japanese native speakers.In order to find a better way to assist the Japanese pronunciation teaching,this paper studies the most basic tone pronunciation,the pronunciation of monosyllabic tone and bi-syllable tone,and compares the problems existing in learning monosyllabic and bi-syllabic tone from the two aspects of hearing and pronunciation.Through comparative experiments between listening and pronunciation,this study find that the tone of Japanese native speakers has certain commonalities.That is to say,the negative transfer of the mother tongue affects the Japanese native speaker’s acquisition of Chinese monosyllabic and bi-syllabic tone.At the same time,the Japanese native speakers’ perception of Chinese monosyllabic and bi-syllabic tone is highly correlated with the pronunciation of monosyllabic and bi-syllabic tone;and for Japanese native speakers,the difficulty of learning tones varies.Therefore,on the one hand,the Chinese tonal teaching for Japanese native speakers should be based on the characteristics of their unique biases.On the other hand,it is necessary to set the scientific teaching sequence by the learning difficulty rather than the four tones’ sequence.To this end,this study specially design tone distinction practice vocabulary in order to help Japanese native speakers to better learn Chinese tones.
