科学家的一项研究显示,母语与人的音乐天分有着内在的联系。亚洲语种的人,尤其是中国人,由于母语的关系,理论上更容易产生音乐天才。美国圣地亚哥大学心理学教授戴安娜·道夫,测试了88位中国中央音乐学院学生的定调能力。那些学生甚至不需基准音的帮助就可以拥有完美的定调能力,同时他们的普通话发音都相当标准。这种能力与亚洲语言中的声调有很大关系,比如普通话、广东话、泰国话和越南话,要求说话时调整舌头和声调来表达音近而意不同的词语。例如在普通话中,“ma”这个音的不同声调可以表达“妈”、“麻”、“马”或者“骂”等等很多意思,这都要取决于说话者舌头的变化。
A study by scientists shows that the native language is intrinsically linked to the musical talent of people. Asian languages, especially Chinese, are more likely to produce musical genius in theory because of their native language. Diane Daugh, professor of psychology at the University of San Diego, tested the ability of 88 China Central Conservatory students to adjust their tone. Those students are perfectly tonelable without the help of a fiducial, and their mandarin pronunciation is quite standard. This ability has a lot to do with the tone of the Asian languages, such as Mandarin, Cantonese, Thai and Vietnamese, which require tongues and tones to be pronounced in tongues to express different and distinct words. For example, in Mandarin, the different tones of “ma ” can express many meanings such as “ma ”, “ma ”, “horse”, or “curse” and so on, The speaker’s tongue changes.
