摘要:本文是英语毕业论文,本文采取定性的研究方法,全面阐述比较了汉语、英语的异同点,并以 34 个英语单词、6 个英语句子为基础,采用调查问卷方式对参与实验的人员进行分组调查分析。
l from mainland China and speak standard Mandarin. They were 20-27 years old (average 24). They have been learning English for 10-20 years (average 14.5 years). The subjects had 0-3 years (average 1.5 years) of experience living in the United Kingdom and had no experience of living in other English-speaking countries. All of the subjects were recorded under standard conditions in a sound-treated booth in the laboratory of UCL
Psychology and Language
Sciences by using an Audio Technica AT2020 USB Microphone. All participants were recruited from the city of London and paid for their participation. None of them reported having any speech disorders. Altogether, for experiment 1-3, two of these subjects were omitted because of computer problems. For experiment 4, three of these subjects were omitted because of missing data (computer problems).

Conclusion
The goal of the present day is trying to see if we can find any Mandarin-specific durational characteristics that are carried to their English as an L2 and we designed four experiments to explore and to test: (1) Is the duration of the base form in derived words considerably shortened as the number of syllables increases for British English speakers and whether it is also true for the same test words read by Mandarin speakers? (2) Are there any differences between Mandarin speakers and British English speakers when they read monosyllabic and iambic disyllabic words? (3) Does syllable duration proportionally increase with the number of segments in the syllable for British English speakers and do Mandarin speakers show any differences? (4) Is syllable duration strongly influenced by positions in phrases and sentences for both British English speakers and Mandarin speakers when they read the same sentences? From the data collected and analyzed in the four experiments, we found: First, durational pattern is conditioned by the number of syllables. As the number of syllables increases, the duration of a base form in the derived words is considerable shortened for British English. This is also true of Mandarin speakers when they read the same words. However, although the similar tendency occurs to both British English and Mandarin speakers, there is a significant difference between the native English speakers and L2 learners in the degree of that reduction. British English speakers show greater reduction in the base form of derived words as they have greater B/D ratio than Mandarin speakers. Therefore, the amount of polysyllabic shortening is likely to be one of the difficulties for Mandarin speakers as L2 learners of English.
