本研究以J-AESOP语料库为基础,考察了日语使用者英语非重读元音的产生情况。研究了英语非重读元音的四个声学特征:音长、强度、基频和元音质量。与英语母语者的对比分析表明,日语母语者对除元音质量外的所有声学特征都有很好的控制,这支持了以前的研究结果。他们对音长、音强和基频的近本机控制归因于母语的正迁移。在元音质量方面,本研究表明,由于母语音素习得的困难和正字法的影响,日语母语者的非重读元音质量比英语母语者的非重读元音质量更边缘化。
This study investigated the production of English unstressed vowels by Japanese speakers based on the J-AESOP corpus. Four acoustic features associated with unstressed vowels in English were examined: duration, intensity, fundamental frequency and vowel quality. Comparative analysis with native English speakers' production revealed that the Japanese speakers achieved good control of all the acoustic features except vowel quality, supporting the results of previous studies. Their attainment of nearnative control of duration, intensity and fundamental frequency can be attributed to positive L1 transfer from Japanese. As for vowel quality, the present study showed that the quality of the Japanese speakers' unstressed vowels was more peripheral than that of the native English speakers' because of the difficulty of L2 phoneme acquisition and the influence of orthography.
