A CALL system using speech recognition to train the pronunciation of Japanese long vowels, the mora nasal and mora obstruents
We developed a CALL (computer-aided language learning) system for teaching the pronunciation of Japanese long vowels, the mora nasal and mora obstruents to nonnative speakers of Japanese. Long vowels and short vowels are spectrally almost identical but their phone durations differ significantly. Similar conditions exist between mora nasals and non-mora nasals, and between mora and non-mora obst...
متن کاملPerception of assimilated and non-assimilated coda nasal by Japanese learners of German
This study investigates the perception of the German coda nasal contrast /n/-/m/-/ŋ/ by Japanese learners of German compared to German native speakers. The phonological distribution of coda nasals differs with/without word boundaries in the two languages. Word final coda before a pause in Japanese is neutralized to /ɴ/ but the place feature remains in German. Assimilation of coda nasals before ...
متن کاملEffects of attention and training method on the identification of American English vowels and coda nasals by native Japanese listeners
The accuracy with which native Japanese listeners identified American English vowels and coda nasals was assessed before and after training. The listeners were divided into four groups, each of which received a different type of training. Two of the four groups were vowel-oriented; one of these groups received vowel identification training (VI), while the other received vowel discrimination tra...
متن کاملTeaching Japanese bi-mora and quadric-mora timing rhythms to Vietnamese learners
Speech rhythm in Japanese is based around a unit of timing known as the mora. In this study, the Haiku, a Japanese poetic form, is used to help Vietnamese learners of Japanese improve their speech rhythm or, more specifically, their mora-timing, by using bior quadric-mora-timing as a pedagogic strategy. Following instruction, participants in the study showed improvement in the uniformity of the...
متن کاملContextual Aspects as a Factor in Variation in the Phonetic Realisation of the Mora Nasal in Osaka Japanese
In this paper an account is given for the occurrence of a complete oral closure during the production of the mora nasal in intervocalic position in Osaka Japanese. This kind of realisation is dependent on the vocalic context and is favoured where the vowel following the mora nasal is an open one. Nous nous proposans de donner ici une explication concemant la realisation d'une fermeture orale co...
