台灣學習者在日語音讀上的拍、母音、子音之節奏型態

Rhythmic Patterns of Taiwanese Learners in Oral Reading in Japanese in Relation to Mora, Vowel, and Consonant Durations

本研究針對初中級台灣日語學習者，進行了中文及日文的朗讀實驗，實證探討學習者的拍、音節、母音、子音的時長。分析實驗結果後發現，學習者在拍的時長及子音節奏上與日本人較為接近，惟母音則有很大的差異。於是更進一步分析5個母音，得知/o/的時長與日本人最為不同。根據此次實驗結果，一併論述日語教育之音讀指導要點。

This study investigated the rhythmic patterns of beginning- or intermediate-level Taiwanese learners in oral reading in Japanese and in Chinese by measuring mora, vowel, and consonant durations. The main results showed that the learners’ rhythmic patterns resembled native Japanese speakers’ at the mora and consonant levels but not at the vowel level, particularly for /o/. On the basis of these findings, some research and educational implications for Taiwanese learners’ oral reading are briefly discussed.
