中国德语系学生朗读德语句子时的降调界音特点

The Characteristics of Falling Boundary Tone When Chinese College Students of German Department Read German Sentences

摘要: 本文为国内首次结合德语语调标注模型GToBI和“语调格局”理论，采用声学试验的方法，对中国德语L2学习者的德语语调进行实证量化研究。本研究以上海某高校德语系12名学生朗读德语句子过程中所用的降调为研究对象，目的在于探求中国德语专业学生德语语调中降调的特点和偏误。实验结果表明上述群体德语降调有如下特点和偏误：1) 错误地使用调型，2) 降调位置错误，3) 降调降得不够，4) 无意识地延长句末的辅音。本研究的结论可为今后语调相关的语音教学提供方向，更重要的是，为语调实证研究提供了一种具有可操作性的方法。

Abstract: The present paper is the first demonstration in China combing the transcription system for the intonation of German (GToBl model) and the “Intonation Patterns” theory to investigate the cha-racteristics of the falling boundary tone of Chinese German L2-Learners. Acoustic tests were adopted with 12 Chinese students from the German department of a university in Shanghai. The result of this investigation indicated the following facts: 1) misuse of intonational categories, 2) misplacement of falling tones, 3) insufficient pitch range, 4) unconsciously prolonging consonants at the end of sentences. The conclusion of the research may offer a relevant direction for the didactic of intonation, and, more significantly, provide an operational approach for empirical intonation research.
