Abstract
This is a contrastive study. The aim of this study was to discover the reason why learners misunderstand ashi-ta as ashi-da from the acoustic perspective. This paper adopts the method of phonetic experiment. By comparing the VOT of consonants [p], [t], [k], [b], [d] and [g] between Japanese beginners and Japanese native speakers, this paper analyzes the acquisition of Japanese plosives by Chinese Japanese learners, and explores the problems of Chinese Japanese learners in the perception of voiced plosives.The comparison suggsets that Chinese Japanese beginners can not distinguish the opposition of Japanese voiceless stops, and the pronunciation of similar [p], [k] and [t] in Chinese and Japanese is affected by the negative transfer of mother tongue.
