Abstract

Tone is an indispensable part of the Chinese phonetic system. It is a pitch change that runs through the whole syllable to distinguish the meaning of words and part of speech. This characteristic presents a unique challenge for preschool children, who are in the early stages of language acquisition [1][2].Inaccuracy of tone often leads to semantic confusion. In this study, the corpus audio is extracted and processed using Praat software and t-value analysis, and the tone bias shown by learners in the test is sorted out and analyzed. The results show that the word with the first word with the falling-rising tone has the highest bias rate, and the word with the rising tone as the first word has the lowest error rate. The main reasons for bias include ignoring the voice change of the flow and the negative migration of the mother tongue.
