大连方言语音对英语语音习得的影响

论文摘要

任何语言中语音是最重要的也是口头交流的最重要的媒介。因此,掌握正确的英语语音对学习者英语水平的提高至关重要。然而每一种语言和方言都有其特有的语音系统和发音规律。由于汉语与英语之间存在的差异,所以人们在学习英语时,往往会将汉语的发音习惯迁移到英语学习中,导致英语学习上的困难和错误,尤其是成年学习者。大连方言是属于北方方言中的一种地方方言。大连方言在声母和韵母系统方面同普通话的构成系统基本相同,但个别声母和韵母的发音与普通话也存在一定的差异。大连方言有自身的发音特点,与英语语音有很大差别,因此,大连地区的英语学习者在学习英语语音时容易受到大连方言的影响。本文通过对大连方言语音和英语语音的比较,从理论上探求大连方言语音对该地区学生学习英语语音的负迁移作用；在实践中,本研究以大连地区一所职业技术学校的一年级的51名大连本地学生为研究对象,通过调查问卷、现场采访录音及面谈相结合的研究方法,首先分析了大连方言语音与英语语音的异同,接着分别分析了大连方言语音的元音和辅音怎样影响本地学生习得英语的元音和辅音。然后,又回答了有哪些因素影响了该地区学生习得英语语音。最后,提出了几点可行的措施来解决大连地区英语学习者习得英语语音的问题。本文旨在找出语音问题,寻求克服大连方言语音对英语语音产生负迁移作用的方法,以利于教学中有的放矢,有目的地提高大连地区学生英语语音水平,提高教学质量。该研究给英语语音习得者和英语教学的启示是,我们要重视地方方言对英语语音学习的影响,给英语学习者和英语教师提供一些有效的建议,从而在英语语音学习的重要阶段为英语学习者奠定一个良好的发音基础。
