节奏是语言的重要韵律特征之一，影响语言理解、产出和习得。近年研究发现，主流的节奏测量工具无法准确反应学习者的节奏水平差异，而重音比和重音错误率则和学习者节奏水平显著相关，能够成为判断学习者英语节奏水平差异的有效指标。由此，通过收集并分析20名英语学习者和4名英语本族语者的朗读数据，判断重音与停延分布测量是否能有效揭示中国学习者英语节奏特点，从而为探索汉语中的重音与停延分布模式是否影响学习者英语节奏习得提供实证研究。
Recent studies have found that mainstream rhythm measurement tools cannot accurately reflect learners’ rhythm level differences, while the stress ratio and stress error rate are significantly correlated with learners’ rhythm level, which can become effective indicators for judging learner’ English rhythm level differences. Therefore, by collecting and analyzing the reading data of 20 English learners and 4 native English speakers, it is judged whether the stress and pause distribution measurement can effectively reveal the English rhythm characteristics of Chinese learners, so as to explore the relationship between stress distribution and pause distribution in Chinese. Whether the pausing distribution pattern affects learners’ English rhythm acquisition provides an empirical study.
