在外语教学中,我们注意到一些学生具有较强的语音模仿能力,他们不需花太多的气力就能较快地掌握某一外语的发音;而另一些学生模仿能力较差,学习发音较吃力。听觉语音学的研究表明,模仿能力与辨音能力密切相关。一个人的耳朵越敏感,就越能辨别不同的语音,也就越容易模仿发音。大家知道,幼儿学讲话,是从听母亲或周围的人说话并模仿他们的发音开始的。如果婴儿天生耳聋,他就不可能学会说话。这是因为发音器官和听觉器官之间有一个反馈的联系(mouth-to-ear—feedback-link)。模仿发音时,我们利用这个反馈作用,依靠耳朵这个听觉监控 In foreign language teaching, we noticed that some students have strong phonetic imitation ability, they can grasp the pronunciation of a foreign language quickly without too much effort, while others have poor imitation ability and learning pronunciation Strenuous Studies in auditory phonology show that the ability to imitate is closely related to the ability to recognize sounds. The more sensitive one’s ear is, the more distinguishable it is and the easier it is to imitate pronunciation. Everyone knows that kindergarten speech begins with listening to the mother or the people around him and imitating their pronunciation. If a baby is born deaf, he can not learn to speak. This is because there is a mouth-to-ear-feedback-link between the vocal organs and the auditory organs. When imitating the pronunciation, we use this feedback effect, depend on ear this auditory monitoring
