由於普通話的語音系統與粤方言的相去甚遠，粤方言人士學習普通話語音時，來自粤方言的語音干擾對學習產生障礙，發音因而有所偏差。本研究應用多元概化理論的統計方法，分析由4位國家級普通話測試員對37名大學本科生朗讀1218個普通話帶調音節的評分數據，從而描繪香港學生朗讀普通話音節的能力面貌。 / 本研究在音節朗讀能力分析上應用概化理論，能同時估計影響分數變異的多個誤差來源，以及估計各側面的變異量及其佔總變異量的比例。通過本研究可以進一步了解來自題目、評分者的測量誤差對分數概化精確性的影響。而且，本研究採用的數據是對聲母、韻母、聲調的分項評分，把音節分解為三個變量來分析，能彌補整體性評分的不足，從而確定朗讀普通話音節時的偏誤所在。本研究對朗讀能力進行分解，首先是在音節的層面，對音節之下的子能力（聲母、韻母、聲調）進行解構分析。然後，則分別在聲母和韻母的層面探究兩者的子能力。研究發現，聲母、韻母、聲調之間的關聯程度很高，但韻母最能區分被試的朗讀能力，聲母卻最弱。各種韻母之間的協方差明顯比各種聲母之間的為大，表明各類韻母背後所隱含的共同能力相對較強。研究結果也顯示，被試能力和題目之間的交互作用是相對主要的誤差來源。 / 除了解構音節朗讀能力外，本研究還針對音節測試的實際情況進行應用研究。通過題目數量、評分者人數以及測量設計的改變，驗證不同測試條件下的概化係數等各種技術指標。結果顯示，各種改變條件的測試方案皆具相當高的測量信度，證明在實際的測試要求下，音節朗讀測試能測出被試的普通話語音能力。 / 本研究基於大量客觀數據而概括出的學習難點和規律，為普通話教與學提供客觀參照，更具針對性地教好、學好音節發音。同時，也有助本地測試機構，制定更符合粤方言者能力特質的音節題目。評分者效應的誤差則為評分者培訓提供訊息，有助提升評分的準確性，建設穩定的評分者團隊。 / As the phonological system of Putonghua is vastly different from that of Cantonese, the phonological interference from Cantonese poses critical learning obstacles to Cantonese speakers in their learning of Putonghua, which leads to various pronunciation errors. In this study, the statistical method Multivariate Generalizability Theory was used to analyze the rating data collected from 4 National Putonghua examiners' rating on the pronunciation of 1218 Putonghua syllables by 37 undergraduates at a university in Hong Kong. The purpose of this study was to examine the ability profiles and psychometric characteristics of Hong Kong students in the pronunciation of Putonghua syllables. / The application of generalizability theory on the study of the pronunciation competency of Putonghua syllables made it possible to analyze and estimate the multiple sources of errors which affected the variation of scores as well as the variance of each facet and its proportion against total variance. Through this study, it was possible to further understand the influence of measurement errors of test items and raters on the generalization of their accuracy. In the study, Putonghua syllables were divided into three variables (components: initials, finals and tones) and analytical scoring was applied in the analyses that could specify the location of errors in pronunciation, thus partly remedying the deficiency of holistic scoring. Deconstruction analysis of pronunciation competence was carried out in a 2-level hierarchy. First, the deconstruction took place at syllables in which initials, finals and tones were the sub-skills. Second, the initials and finals were also deconstructed. Research findings showed that correlations among initials, finals and tones were relatively high and that finals were the strongest in differentiating pronunciation competence while initials were the weakest. The covariances among various finals were apparently higher than those of initials. This implies that the mutual hidden competence linked to various types of finals was relatively strong. Findings also revealed that the interaction between subject’s competence and test items was the main source of errors. / In addition to the deconstruction analysis of pronunciation competence, applied research basing on the authentic situations of Putonghua tests was also conducted. Verification of technical specifications, including generalizability coefficients, was carried out under different testing conditions through changing test design and the number of test items and raters. The results showed that various testing solutions with the change in testing conditions possess high degree of measurement reliability, suggesting that syllable reading test could be used to examine pronunciation competence under authentic testing conditions. / In this study, learning difficulties and their patterns, which are derived from abundant unprejudiced data, provide objective reference to the teaching and learning of Putonghua syllable pronunciation with clear targets. These findings are also useful to local testing institutions in stipulating syllable reading tests which better suit the competence characteristics of Cantonese speakers. Furthermore, data and study results on rater errors offer reference for rater training which helps to promote the accuracy of rating, thus strengthening the quality of the rating team. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 陳志良. / "2013年7月". / "2013 nian 7 yue". / Thesis (Ed.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2013. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 119-127). / Electronic reproduction.

This study examined the roles of sub-character processing, phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and orthographic knowledge, measured using twelve different tasks hypothesized to indicate these four broad constructs, in Chinese character recognition and English word reading among 536 Hong Kong Chinese kindergartners, second- and fifth-graders. The twelve tasks generally showed an increase in performance with grade level. Confirmatory factor analyses comparing alternative models of these four constituents of Chinese word reading revealed a dynamic pattern of children's latent linguistic or reading processing skills development: The best-fitting model of kindergartners' processing was one that included two broad constructs, broadly termed metalinguistic processing and orthographic processing. In contrast, second-graders showed a fine-grained sensitivity to four distinct skills of sub-character processing, phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and orthographic knowledge. Finally, the latent processing skills of the fifth-graders converged into phonological and orthographic processing. The contributions of each of these initially specified constructs, i.e., sub-character processing, phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and orthographic knowledge, to Chinese word reading varied across each separate grade in regression analyses. The sub-character processing construct was uniquely associated with kindergarten Chinese word reading only. In contrast, the morphological awareness construct was uniquely associated with Chinese word reading in both second- and fifth-graders. The orthographic knowledge construct was uniquely associated with word reading across ail three grades. However, the phonological awareness construct was not uniquely associated with Chinese word reading in any of the groups of children, though it was uniquely associated with English word reading, even with Chinese character recognition skill statistically controlled. These findings demonstrate how Chinese word reading might develop across age and highlight the importance of sub-character processing, morphological awareness and orthographic knowledge for Chinese word reading development as well as the importance of phonological awareness for English word reading. / Tong Xiuli. / Adviser: Catherine McBride-Chang. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 70-06, Section: B, page: 3806. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 151-166). / Electronic reproduction.

古止攝元音[i]演變為舌尖前高元音[]是中古以來漢語語音一項重大演變，學界一般稱之為「舌尖化」現象。迄今為止，對其演變過程，尤其是對[i]音變後音值的考察尚少見到。 / 本文據實地調查觀察發現：惠陽淡水客家話止攝開口三等[i]元音正處於演變的過程中：老派基本不變，中派開始發生變化，新派完成部分音變；[i]音變的條件為與音、零聲母相拼；音變的過程先從音開始，再擴至零聲母。通過實驗語音學的分析，本文發現惠陽淡水客家話[i]音變後的音值不是一般漢語方言記錄中的[]，而是[]；[i]不是「前化」、「高化」或「舌尖化」，而是「央化」；[i]與零聲母相拼發生音變，更會衍生濁擦音[z]。這種音變以「詞匯擴散」的方式傳播，並與年齡、性別這兩項社會因素有密切關係。 / 在上述淡水客家話[i]音變後之音值性質分析基礎上，再根據《普通話水平測試實施綱要》内之音檔，考察普通話中「」的音值。經過實驗分析後，本文認爲普通話的「」其實就是[]。漢語看似無[]，但[]只是被「」這層假象覆蓋住。 / 希望本文上述的觀察研究能為漢語方言中古止攝元音[i]的歷史演變研究提供一種全新的思考和假設。 / The sound change of vowel [i] to [] of Zhi-Group 止攝 has been an important issue in Chinese phonetics since medieval times, which is commonly called "apicalization" by the academia. Up to now, there are very few studies on the process of the sound change of [i], especially the exact phonetic value of [i] after sound change, can be found. / According to the results of our field work, [i] of Division III 三等, Open Mouth of Zhi-Group 止攝開口 is undergoing sound change in the Hakka Dialect in Danshui, Huiyang. The phonetic value of [i] basically does not change among the members of the old generation, but changing among the members of the middle generation and has changed among the members of the new generation. The phonetic valueof [i] changes when it combines with sibilants and silent initial. The process of sound change starts from sibilants and followed by silent initial. With the analysis of Experimental Phonetics, we find that the exact phonetic value of [i] after sound changeis not []. Even [] is found in many Chinese dialect records, the exact phonetic value should be []. The nature of the sound change of [i] is not "fronting", "raising" nor "apicalized", it should be "centralized". Under the influence of sound change, when [i] is syllabic, voiced alveolar fricative [z] will be produced. The sound change of [i] is spreading by the process of "lexical diffusion" and is closely related to the social factors of age and gender. / We will also examine the exact phonetic value of "" in Putonghua according to Putonghua Shuiping Ceshi Shishi Gangyao 《普通話水平測試綱要》. After experimental analysis, we find that "" should be [] instead. Actually [] exists in Chinese, but it is "covered" by "". / Hope our findings can provide the stuides on the historial change of [i] of Zhi-Group in Chinese dialects with a different thinking angle and a whole new htpothesis. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 黃韻瑜. / Thesis (M.Phil.)
