美语发音概述

1、美语发音概述-英语发音类别>> >>基本分类及常识>>语音分元音和辅音两大类，每一个语音必定属于这两者之一。>> >>元音>>元音是一种有声音，发音时用舌头和嘴唇使口腔定形，声带振动。同时气流从咽腔和口腔不断流出，不受阻碍，也没有变狭窄，因而听不出摩擦。>> >>辅音>>（在正常言语中）除元音外所有的其它音都叫辅音。一部分辅音发音时，气流不通过口腔，如m；另一部分辅音发音时，气流在通过口腔时，受到这样或那样的阻碍，或在口腔中的某个点受到摩擦。>> >> >&

6、>> >>>> >>辅音分类A>>根据声带振动情况：>>按照声带振动情况给辅音分类，发音时声带完全敞开，气流通过声带没有引起振动的辅音称为清辅音，发音时声带合拢，气流通过声带并引起振动的辅音称为浊辅音。每一组对应的清浊辅音在发音时发音部位和发音方式都是完全相同的，只以声带振动与否来进行区别。>> >>英语中有十组对应的清浊辅音，它们是：>>清辅音 Voiceless Consonants：>> p t k t5 f 7 s 5 ts tr t5>>浊辅音 Voic

7、ed Consonants：>> d g d9 v 0 z 9 dz dr d9>> >>英语中有些音是没有相对应的清浊辅音的，它们是：>>清辅音：h>>浊辅音：m n 6 l r>>另外，人们习惯上把半元音也归为浊辅音用。>>浊辅音：w j>> >> >> >>>> >>辅音分类B>>根据气流通过口腔时产生的不同效果：>>根据气流通过口腔时产生的不同效果给辅音分类，可将辅音分为爆破音、摩擦音、塞擦音、鼻音和舌边音。

8、另外，我们将半元音也放在这一部分，方便练习掌握。>>摩擦音：口腔通道较窄，气流通过时产生摩擦。>>爆破音：气流在口腔中完全封闭，然后再突然释放，在释放时不产生任何阻碍和摩擦。>>塞擦音：气流通过口腔时被闭住，释放时气流通道又不完全敞开。>>鼻音： 发音时需要鼻腔共鸣。>>舌边音：发音时气流从舌的两侧同过。>>半元音：w j>> >> >> >>>> >>爆破音>>爆破音(plosive)：在相当时间内，气流通道完全阻塞，气流（一般由于肺部的

9、动作）受压，然后突然放开阻塞，发出爆破的声音。>>英语中的爆破音有六个，它们是: p t d k g>>嘴唇闭气：p >>舌前端在上齿齿龈和硬腭前端闭气：t d>>舌后端抬高，软腭下垂进行闭气：k g>> >> >>Read the dialogues, paying attention to the pronunciation of plosives.>>(1) A: How do you do? Im Parker.>>B: How do you do, Mr. Barker?>
