论汉语语音迁移对英语语音学习的影响On the Phonetic Transfer of Chinese in English Phonetics Learning.doc

内 容 摘 要 随着对外交流的日益扩大和对外经济的快速发展，英语在社会经济各个领域都得到了广泛的应用。英语口语的学习和使用越来越受到重视。语音作为语言的物质外壳，是掌握语言知识和获得语言技能的基础，所以学习英语口语很有必要从语音开始。同时，正确标准的英语发音、自然得体的语音语调不仅是衡量能否进行有效口语交际的重要尺度，也是作为语言的学习者所必须具备的素质之一。但是在英语语音学习中，由于受母语的影响和英语语音知识的缺乏，中国学习者会遇到各种各样的困难。这是因为汉语和英语属于两种不同的语系，在语音系统上虽有相似之处，但仍是差异性居多。在第二语言习得中，学习者在发音上很容易受母语的影响，从而导致一些常见语音错误的发生。本文根据语言迁移理论，通过对比汉英两种语音系统的异同，讨论了英语语音习得中汉语发音对英语语音学习的影响。此外，本文针对如何减小语音负迁移的影响，促进英语语音学习提出了有效建议。 关 键 词 语音迁移；负迁移；发音；语音系统 Abstract With the increasing of foreign exchange and foreign economic development, English has been widely used in the socio-economic areas.
