An Analysis Of Initials Pronunciation Errors Made By Primary Chinese Learners Whose Mother Tongue Is Indian

The article takes the phonetic errors of 18 subjects whose mother tongue is Hindi as the research object.By using error analysis method,combined with comparative analysis theory and interlanguage theory,the differences between the Chinese and Hindin consonant systems are first compared,then construct a guideline called the consonant difficulty level model for primary Chinese learners of the native language.Secondly,through a comparative analysis of the errors shown by the participants in the perception and pronunciation experiments,it is found that the errors are mainly as follows: First,the errors in the places and manners of articulation show imbalance and asymmetry.Second,the errors of the individual initials are not consistent in perception part and the pronunciation output part.Third,the problems of aspirated insufficiency and unvoiced voice appear in the results of perception and pronunciation experiments.Fourth,the experimental results show that both the type and rate of errors are large.Fifth,from the perspective of the initial system of initials,the perception errors of initials b,d,and g are opposite to those of pronunciation,and the errors of the front and back of the tongue are affected by the final vowels.Based on the above error results,the article further analyzes the stop sounds and fricatives with a higher error rate,and further compare the differences between Chinese and Indian participants’ speech patterns and analyze the reasons by means of the phonetic software Praat.Finally,the causes are analyzed from multiple perspectives,including interlingual and interlingual factors,and then specific solutions and teaching suggestions are given.It is expected to be beneficial to Hindi Chinese teaching and the acquisition of Chinese by primary Chinese learners who are native speakers of Hindi.
