"nest" or "oh"
Whose childhood is wrong?
Shao Yanmei, a professor of linguistics and applied linguistics at Shandong Normal University, said in an interview that according to the provisions of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme,"O" is a vowel.The position of the tongue and the shape of the lips cannot be changed when pronouncing.. She introduced that "oh" has two sounds in Modern Chinese Dictionary: one is equivalent to "oh", and the other is "describing the cock’s crowing sound", and the other is reading.“wō”Obviously, as the "cock crows", "Oh" is aCompound vowel (compound vowel) "uo"Instead of the single vowel (single vowel) "o".
Shao Yanmei said, why do many people think that the pronunciation of "o" in the Chinese Pinyin Scheme is "uo"? There should be two reasons:
When teaching Chinese Pinyin in primary school textbooks, it is customary to draw a rooster next to the "O" and mark it with "Woo Woo".
According to the news released by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, the compound vowel "uo" and the single vowel "o" belong to the same phoneme, which makes these two vowels have similarities.The probability of combining "uo" with initials is much higher than that of "o", so the sound of "uo" is more easily activated by cognition..
The pronunciation of "o" has been discussed before. In the current education process, most teachers teach children to read "O" and "Europe".
The staff of the Language Information Management Department of the Ministry of Education said that they often received calls from parents and teachers on this issue.
At present, the pronunciation of "O" has been controversial in academic circles.There is no particularly unified consensus. At present, the pronunciation of teachers in teaching is set according to the teaching standards issued by the education authorities every year. The current standard is to identify "O" as a single vowel and pronounce "Europe".
"Oh" is generally taught in primary schools in Guangzhou.
Regarding the pronunciation of "O", a reporter interviewed language experts in Guangdong universities and primary schools in Guangzhou. The survey found that elementary schools in Guangzhou generally teach "Oh".
Lian Chunzhao, a professor at the School of Arts of South China Normal University and head of the Department of Chinese Linguistics, said that "O" should be pronounced "Oh". She analyzed thatNo matter how you pronounce "Ou" or "Wo", they are all compound vowels, and there is a movement when you pronounce them."ou" is ou, and the tongue position slides from half height to high; The "nest" is uo, and the tongue slides in the opposite direction, from high to half-high. And "O" is a single vowel, and the tongue position, lip shape and opening are always the same when pronounced.
Qi Ling, vice president of the Second Experimental Primary School in Haizhu District, said,"According to our pinyin teaching habits in southern China for many years, we all read’ Oh’, but we also have some Chinese teachers from the north who used to read’ Ou’."
Wang Leiying, a Chinese teacher at Huayang Primary School, said that "O" is pronounced "Oh". However, she has also heard students pronounce "Wo", which was taught by their mothers from the northeast, and that’s how students’ mothers used to learn it. Wang Leiying said, "If reading’ ou’ is similar to the pronunciation of’ o’ of English letters, students will not be able to distinguish Pinyin from the pronunciation of 26 English letters.
Peng Wenying, a senior Chinese teacher and deputy director of teaching at Zhongxing Primary School in Yuexiu District, told reporters that some children will pronounce "Europe" because they learned English in advance and were influenced by English to pronounce "O" as "Europe". In this regard, the school will take the methods of reading by train, individual reading and solitaire reading in the first grade Chinese class to detect and correct each child’s pronunciation, and will also consolidate pronunciation through activities such as letter practice contests.
After investigation, the reporter found that "Oh" is generally taught in primary schools in Guangzhou, and it has remained consistent for decades without confusion. In addition, some linguists pointed out that reading "ou" cannot be used as an "authoritative statement" andIt is suggested that audio or video should be added to the teaching standard of Chinese Pinyin Scheme for more intuitive guidance..
