摘要
This paper, on the basis of AM intonation theory, aims to investigate Cantonese EFL English learners' production and perception of intonation features, including the phonological features of nuclear accent and boundary tone, as well as the placement of nuclear accent. Altogether 252 sentences, including 136 statements and 116 yes-no questions were collected, from which it was found that learners tended to use H* and L* in statements and yes-no questions respectively, and these two tone types were also the ones that are easiest to be perceived. Interactive relationship between learners' production and perception were discussed. The results will give guidance to the EFL intonation teaching for Cantonese learners.
