THE INNOVATIVE INTRODUCTORY COURSE OF PRACTICAL PHONETICS OF THE CHINESE LANGUAGE PUTONGHUA FOR RUSSIAN-SPEAKING STUDENTS
Abstract
The article is about the introductory course in practical Phonetics of Chinese Mandarin for Russian students, based on innovative phonological (zvukofonemnoy) theory of Chinese. For the first time in the practical study of Chinese Putonghua teaching is based on knowledge of the differences between orfogramma and phonological transcription of Chinese words. The purpose of this manual is to provide Russian speaking students beginning to learn Chinese with a system-theoretical and practical understanding of phoneticphonological system of Chinese. Chinese and Russian, in terms of the use of speech sounds to build words as central units of the human language, are directly opposed: vowels are more used in Chinese whereas in Russian it is consonants that are more used. There are 34 strong vowels in Chinese and 6 strong vowels in Russian. Phonetic-phonological system of the Chinese and Russian languages on one ground of comparing consonants and vowel phonemes (language rules for pronouncing consonants and vowels) are brought to a student as rationally understandable practical objects of study. Russian students get perceived ability to use their knowledge and skills of pronouncing the sounds of their native language to compare them with the consonants and vowel sounds of the Chinese language. System summary of knowledge combined with practical exercises (imitative, analytical and speechmental) allows students to effectively develop appropriate pronunciation skills and listening comprehension of speech sounds of Chinese, thereby developing an adequate phonological ear in Chinese Putonghua as the basic necessary competence for all kinds of speech activities in a given language. Introduction to practical phonetics of Putonghua for Russian-speaking students stood two editions (2013, 2015) and is used by many universities and schools of the Russian Federation as the Russians and Chinese teachers of some Confucius institutes in Russia.
