Experimental Research Of The Intonation Of Chinese Interrogative Sentences By Uzbekistan Students

This essay is based on the intonation pattern theory,by using the means of experimental phonetics,we analysis Uzbekistan students in learning Chinese interrogative sentences intonation performance from the aspects of fluctuation,pause and delay.Meanwhile we take four Chinese native speakers as the comparison group.And then we suggest some specific teaching methods.For this research,six Uzbekistan students whose Chinese language level is high and four Chinese native speakers are selected.According to the intonation pattern theory,we designed four kinds of experimental sentences,for example,unmarked and no-focus Chinese interrogative sentences,unmarked and focused Chinese interrogative sentences,no focus declarative sentences,marked and no-focus Chinese interrogative sentences.We can find that the Uzbekistan students acquired unmarked and focused Chinese interrogative sentences,tone range and the range of focus words are greatly expanded;The focus words have an inhibitory effect on the words after the focus,that is,the tone range after the focus has a tendency to contract,and the overall pitch has a downward trend,but the focus words at the end of the sentence,we can not see this feature;The intonation of unmarked focused Chinese interrogative sentences is characterized by the fact that the final pitch of the sentence is lower than the pitch of the focal tone;Most of the Uzbekistan students can feel the position of the focus,and it has obvious performance in the fluctuation chart;The fluctuation of unmarked and focused Chinese interrogative sentences is much bigger than the fluctuation of no-focus declarative sentences.
