Abstract:
From the perspective of syllabic capacity, the syllable type of Japanese could be divided into three kinds: short syllable, long syllable, super long syllable. In terms of the number of MORA, short syllable possesses one mora, long syllable two and super long syllable three. Rhythm is constituted by the combination of different syllables. The hold and understanding of rhythm are important for the meaning distinction of lexica or sentences. The lack of rhythm acquisition causes the severe oral communication barrier. It is obvious that rhythm acquisition is the necessary issue in Japanese pronunciation learning. The aims of this article are as follows:1. To know the difficulties of rhythm acquisition by the product pronunciation experiment of Chinese primary Japanese learner (hereafter CPJL).2. To instruct CPJL by spectrogram visualization, syncopation and speed control.3. To present the strategy of rhythm acquisition in teaching side.
日语的音节可分为「短音节」、「长音节」、「超长音节」三种。这些音节组合后,会构成「节奏(rhythm)」。就词汇或语句而言,节奏的掌握对于区辨意义及语言自然度会有重大的影响。华人初级日语学习者常见的节奏习得问题就是短音节过长或是长音节过短,教学现场上如何指导节奏是相当重要的课题。
