外国学生形声字表音线索意识的实验研究

This study explored the awareness of Phonological cues in Pictophonetic Charac- ters and its development among learners of Chinese as a second language. In this experiment, the subjects were asked to write down the pinyin for 160 pictophonetic characters of different regulari- ties and frequencies in a paper-pencil test. The results showed that the subjects performed much better on regular pictophonetic characters than on irregular ones, and this regularity effects were stronger for the more proficient subjects than for the less proficient ones. These results indicate that the character's phonographic regularity had effects on pronunciation by the foreign learner, and these effects became stronger as the subjects' Chinese proficiency increases.
