The Contrastive Evaluation On Modern Chinese and Uzbek Vowels

Abstract

This paper adopts the four steps of “comparative analysis”.First of all, it summarizes the language of Chinese and Uzbek and its Vowels. Chinese belongs to the “Sino-Tibetan language family” and is an isolated language. The Uzbek language belongs to the “Altaic language family” and is an adhesive language. There are 10 single vowels and 13 diphthongs in Chineselanguage. There are 7single vowels in Uzbeklanguage,andone syllable contains one vowel, that is to say, several vowels have several syllables. Generally speaking, there are 4 diphthongsin Uzbeklanguage. Secondly, the single vowels in Chinese and Uzbek pronunciation are selected for comparative analysis. Then, the single vowels of Chinese and Uzbek are compared and analyzed from the aspects of “pronunciation part”, “ tongue position” and “lip shape”. Finally, based on the similarities and differences between the two vowels, the errors that Uzbek learners may have in Chinese vowels acquisition are predicted, and propose relevant teaching suggestions.
