本研究通过两个实验考察了汉语作为外语的英语学习者对汉语和英语辅音语音距离的感知对第二语言辅音识别的影响。实验一考察了英语听者对10个汉语辅音作为英语范畴的识别以及对每个映射的拟合度。拟合指数，衡量的程度之间的映射汉语和英语辅音，从差到一般，和良好。实验二采用强迫选择任务，考察了初级和中级英语学习者对普通话辅音的识别。总体而言，汉语和英语辅音之间的语音距离可以预测学习者对第二语言辅音的正确识别。汉语辅音与英语辅音的匹配指数高的辅音比匹配指数低的辅音识别率高。更多的L2经验也会导致更好的感知学习。研究结果进行了讨论，在当前的L2语音学习模型。
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of the perceived phonetic distances between Mandarin and English consonants on L2 consonant identification by English learners of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL). Experiment 1 elicited English listeners’ identification of ten target Mandarin consonants as English categories and their goodness fitting ratings of each mapping. Fit indexes, measuring the degree of mapping between Mandarin and English consonants, ranged from poor to fair, and good. Experiment 2 elicited English CFL learners’ (elementary and intermediate levels) identification of Mandarin consonants in a forced choice task. Overall, the perceived phonetic distances between Mandarin and English consonants predicted the learners’ correct identification of the L2 consonants. Mandarin consonants with high fit indexes to English consonants are better identified than those with lower fit indexes. More L2 experience also leads to better perceptual learning. The findings are discussed in terms of current L2 speech learning models.
