项目摘要

This research is composed of five sections. The fast deals with the issue of how an advanced-level Japanese learner of English differs from the native speaker's oral reading performance in terms of pitch contours of sentences. The main finding involved flatter intonation patterns as measured in fundamental frequency, but also some displacements from standard pitch contours were hind. The second concerns characteristics of model oral reading, in which fundamental frequencies were measured for phonological words. An autocorrelation analysis indicated that the effect of the fundamental frequency of a given phonological word carries over to the following two phonological words. The thirds study is about nasalization. Japanese university students orally read two short English passage and three short Japanese ones. As compared to an English standard, the overall mean nasality for Japanese students was smaller, and in reading Japanese passages, Japanese students were divided into two groups in terms of the degree of nasalization. The fourth section involves oral reading performance by an adult Japanese speaker who stutters. The present researcher was informed that the person stuttered more frequently in front of people than when he was alone. We thus recorded his oral reading when he was alone and when the present research was there listening to his reading. The mean number of stuttering was obviously larger in the audience condition than in the no-audience condition. Furthermore, the mean fundamental frequency for phonological words was approximately 5 Hz higher in the former condition than in the latter condition. To demonstrate this latter finding in a more rigorous manner, the fifth study employed an A-B-A-B paradigm, where A represents an audience condition and B represents a no-audience condition. Results replicated the association between fundamental frequency and presence of audience such that the fundamental frequency becomes higher in an audience condition.

本研究由五个部分组成。本研究探讨了日本高级英语学习者在句子的音高轮廓方面与本族语者的口语阅读表现有何不同。主要的发现涉及平坦的语调模式作为测量的基本频率，但也有一些位移从标准的音高轮廓落后。第二个关注的特点，模型的口头阅读，在其中的基本频率测量的语音单词。一个自相关分析表明，一个给定的语音字的基频的影响进行到以下两个语音字。第三部分是关于鼻音化的研究。日本大学生口头朗读两篇英语短文和三篇日语短文。与英语标准相比，日本学生的整体平均鼻音较小，在阅读日语段落时，日本学生根据鼻音化程度分为两组。第四部分是一位口吃的成年日语使用者的口语阅读表现。本研究者被告知，这个人在人前比独自一人时更频繁地口吃。因此，我们记录了他的口头阅读时，他独自一人，当本研究在那里听他的阅读。在有听众的情况下，口吃的平均次数明显多于无听众的情况。此外，语音词的平均基频在前一种条件下比在后一种条件下高约5 Hz。为了以更严格的方式证明后一种发现，第五项研究采用了A-B-A-B范式，其中A代表观众条件，B代表无观众条件。结果复制的基本频率和观众的存在，使基本频率变得更高的观众条件之间的关联。
