The Experimental Analysis Of Third-tone Acquisition By Malagasy Primary-Chinese Learners

For the learning Chinese as the second language,tone's importance is self-evident.In Madagascar,The Chinese learners' pronunciation errors comes largely from tone didn't grasp in place,which third tone is most serious. However,domestic research on the acquisition of Chinese third tone by learners whose mother tongue is Malagasy is rare.In order to explore the acquisition of Chinese tones by primary-level Madagascar students,and to sum up the teaching experience, the author use two kinds of third tone teaching strategies in two Chinese junior class which in similar level:In the learning of tone teaching.Class A,fist know the existence of the whole third tone,then,focusing on teaching the rules of modified tone about third tone,with a lot of practice of “half-third tone”.Teaching important points in the “half-third tone”of teaching.On the contrary,Class B,fist teach the whole third tone [214],then teach the rules of modified tone,the teaching focus is master of the four tones.After half a month of teaching,the collection of two classes of students of voice materials.Then,through the phonetic experiment software(Praat) investigation the two groups of students' acquisition of Chinese third tone, and combined with the theory of linguistics to analyze and compare with a group of Chinese students',the author analyzes the causes of their errors in learning Chinese third tone,draw a conclusion of the experimen:in monosyllabic tones,two groups of similar performance;In disyllabic tones,from the fundamental frequency,duration,type, adjustable domain many way,and the group A ample is more close to the pronunciation of Chinese students than group B,and the group B made more errors than group A,and the most errors of two group appears in tne tone”T3+T2”.from the overall,tone acquisition of group A is better than that of group B,but also exist errors in both groups.Then analyzes the reasons is that negative transfer of mother tongue influence as well as the students' consciousness of lack of intonation.Through the analysis of experimental phonetics,this paper conclude that teaching third tone should be emphasized in the 'half-third tone' teaching,and accordingly reduce the teaching of this adjustment.Finally proposes teaching Suggestions:multi-purpose emotion to drive tone teaching,make full use of modern multimedia tools,strengthen the sense of disyllable practice,and put forward the corresponding sound teaching design.
