本研究探讨了适应性知觉训练对于提高日本留学生汉语辅音送气/不送气特征范畴化感知能力的作用。研究发现不但接受训练的[pa]、[pha]知觉的范畴化程度得到了显著提高,而且学习者对未接受训练的[ta]、[tha]的范畴化知觉能力也得到了相应提高,这说明知觉训练可以从整体上提高日本留学生对汉语辅音送气/不送气特征的范畴化感知能力。研究还发现,范畴化知觉能力在训练过程中可以持续得到提高。研究结果对于进一步改善对外汉语语音教学的效果和提高语音教学的效率具有积极的现实意义。
The role of adaptive perceptual training for the improvement of categorical perception of Chinese [pa] and [pha] by native Japanese speakers learning Chinese is explored in this paper. It is found that adaptive perceptual training improved categorical perception of [pa] and [pha],and the effect transferred to the perception of [ta] and [tha],which indicates that perceptual training improves categorical perception of aspirated/unaspirated contrast as a whole. It is also found that the improvement is continuous during the training process. The results indicate that adaptive perceptual training provides an efficient alternative to improve TCFL phonetic teaching.
