Abstract

The short answer to the question in the title is: not exactly, no. This paper examines the confusion between phonetics on the one hand and pronunciation on the other. It looks at what phonetics actually is (its acoustic, articulatory and auditory components), and attempts to dispel the popular myth that studying or teaching ‘(English) phonetics’ and studying or teaching ‘(English) pronunciation’ are one and the same thing – in fact, the former is general phonetics, the latter applied phonetics. Reviewing 100 years of thoughts about English pronunciation teaching (from Daniel Jones to Geoff Lindsey) it examines the contribution phonetics is considered to make in this field, looking at the roles of both phonetic theory and ear-training in pronunciation acquisition from teachers’ and learners’ perspectives. It concludes by summarizing what phonetics today can offer the language learner.

语音=发音吗？语音教学100年

对标题中这个问题的简短回答是:不完全是，不。本文探讨了语音与语音之间的混淆。它着眼于语音到底是什么(它的声学、发音和听觉组成部分)，并试图消除流行的神话，即学习或教授“(英语)语音”和学习或教授“(英语)发音”是一回事——事实上，前者是一般语音，后者是应用语音。本文回顾了100年来关于英语语音教学的思想(从丹尼尔·琼斯到杰夫·林赛)，探讨了语音学在这一领域的贡献，从教师和学习者的角度探讨了语音理论和听力训练在语音习得中的作用。最后总结了今天语音学能为语言学习者提供什么。
