Acoustic Features Of Mandarin Diphthongs By Uyghur Learners At Primary Level

Abstract

From the perspective of experimental phonetics, this paper makes an acoustic comparison analysis of the diphthongs Uyghur and Chinese college speakers, and examines the situation of primary-level Uyghur learners’ acquisition of Chinese Mandarin diphthongs. A total of 132 samples (including 9 diphthongs) are extracted from the recorded corpus, and the formants of the vowel are statistically analyzed. The characteristics and the distributions of the formants are analyzed to investigate the acoustic characteristics. Finally, combined with the experimental results, the Uyghur learners’ at primary level acquisition of diphthongs will be further discussed and analyzed. The purpose of this paper is to understand the Uyghur college learners’ acquisition of Chinese Mandarin diphthongs tracks and to provide the correct reference data for the Computer Assisted Language Learning System of Uyghur Learning Chinese Mandarin.
