摘要

本研究考察了成年第二语言(L2)英语说话者对非sibilant前擦音/v,θ,ğ/的习得情况。二十四名中国普通话-L2英语口语者大声朗读擦音声母。选择这些讲话者是因为他们的L1包含/f/,但不包含/v,θ,ğ/。20名一级英语听众被要求识别二级语言产生的语音,并对说话者的口音进行评分。平均而言,69%的擦音被正确识别/v/是最难正确识别的,并且识别的准确性不如/θ/和/?/。一级听众报告了“中等”口音,但口音评级并不能预测一级识别行为。一项涉及来自22名说话者的正确识别单词的探索性声学分析显示,L2说话者根据已公布的L1数据产生了用于发声的平均时间差异。非sibilant擦音——尤其是/v/——可能需要教学干预,将二语使用者从学习平台上推下来。

Acquisition of non-sibilant anterior English fricatives by adult second language learners
This study examined the acquisition of the non-sibilant anterior fricatives /v, θ, ð/ by adult second language (L2) English talkers. Twenty-four Mandarin Chinese-L2 English talkers read aloud fricative-initial words. These talkers were chosen as their L1 contained /f/ but not /v, θ, ð/. Twenty L1 English listeners were asked to identify the L2-produced speech and rate the talker’s accent. On average, 69% of the fricatives were correctly identified. /v/ was the most difficult to correctly identify and was identified less accurately than /θ/ and /ð/. A ‘moderate’ accent was reported by L1 listeners, but accent rating did not predict L1 identification behavior. An exploratory acoustic analysis involving the correctly identified words from 22 talkers revealed that L2 talkers produced mean temporal differences used for voicing in line with published L1 data. Non-sibilant fricatives – particularly /v/ – may require pedagogical interventions to push L2 talkers off their learning plateau.
