Abstract(in English) In the utterance of Japanese native speakers, the pitch rising is observed from the first mora to the second mora of each phonological unites. In previous research, it is argued that word-initial prosody in the utterance of Chinese native speakers learning Japanese is different from those of Japanese native speakers. In this study, we examined word-initial prosody produced by Chinese learners in detail. We found that, although Japanese native speakers' word initial prosody is influenced by syllable weight or weakening of accent, Chinese learners' word initial prosody is not influenced by these factors. This result suggests that phonetic instruction about word-initial prosody is valuable for Chinese learners of Japanese.
