Abstract： This study explores the ability of Chinese adults to detect and manipulate different speech units through speech awareness testing, and discusses the impact of rhyming and basic speech perception units in Chinese populations, as well as the knowledge of Chinese pinyin, on the establishment of speech awareness in Chinese populations. The experiment examined the performance of two groups of adult participants (each consisting of 15 people) with/without Pinyin ability in the local dialect of Duanzhou, Zhaoqing, in seven phonological awareness tests (syllable awareness, vowel detection, tone detection, initial detection, vowel substitution, tone substitution, and initial deletion). The test results showed that both groups of participants had complete syllable awareness; The Pinyin group is proficient in detecting and manipulating tonal units, while non Pinyin groups find it difficult to operate longitudinal tones alone, but have a certain level of detection ability. Among them, detecting vowels is the best, followed by tones, and vowels are the worst; The ability to generate rhyming syllables with a given stimulus without the need to extract vowels from the syllables; Pinyin groups can cut syllables at the sound vowel boundary, while non pinyin groups cannot; The acquisition of Pinyin will change the basic perception mode of Chinese phonetics.

Abstract：肇庆市高要区乐城镇位于广东省中部偏西，当地通行的“白话”属于广府粤方言的一种。此前方言学专著将高要与肇庆城区作为同一个方言点记录，未见高要区内其他方言点的声学分析结果及关于乐城白话的相关记录。实验结果表明，乐城话共有9个调类，分别定为阴平、阳平、阴上、阳上、阴去、阳去、上阴入、下阴入和阳入。乐城白话中没有明显的双字调变调现象，但前字调域偏窄，发音时长较短。
