Abstract:
A phonetic experiment is conducted with the ‘praat’ program to study the pronunciation pattern of Chinese disyllabic tone of Kirgiz students. In the acoustic experiments of Chinese disyllabic tone, Kirgiz students pronounce the front syllable and latter syllable all in a slight falling tone, in which, the second tone (Yang Ping) has a short reading while a rather long reading for the fourth tone (Qu-Sheng), and the tone range is narrow, so as to form an ‘one tone pattern’. Since the Kirgiz language is a silent tone language, students have some difficulties in acquiring tonal languages. And, the stress of the Kirgiz language is in the last syllable, which makes it easy for students to over generalize the falling tone of their native language. For the Kirgiz beginners, lack of the teaching sources and no access to the standard Chinese pronunciation will make them more difficult to learn Chinese language.
