Abstract

From the current situation in the teaching and learning of Japanese tones, more and more attention has been paid to the tone of Japanese language. The overall level has been greatly improved no matter from the breadth and depth of the content of the study. Although lots of textbooks and dictionaries and other materials have been marked out the Japanese word tones for those Japanese learners, it did not provide concise and clear rules. With the increase of learning content, the diversity of tone change is more and more obvious, in which the vocabulary is increasing, and the structure of the article is more complicated. It is difficult to solve the practical problems that are found during learning by relying solely on the primary stage of rote learning and traditional learning methods. It is a problem that every Japanese learner has to solve in order to master the rules of tones correctly and improve the efficiency of learning. All the known language in the world, there are some words with higher or heavier pronunciations in their words. The traditional phonetics or phonology called these higher or heavier pronunciations as "stress". Stress in different languages has different forms of expression, and some are mainly reflected in the strength and weak. The tone of Japanese is expressed in high and low, and its pronunciation type has n+1. Different types of pronunciation have the corresponding pronunciation rules.
