The Influence of Rhythm Interaction of Cross-Language Nursery Rhymes on Rhythm Sensitivity of Second Language Children

Abstract

Prosody sensitivity is the core cognitive ability of children's second language phonics acquisition and reading ability develop
ment. Nursery rhymes have become the natural carrier of children's cross-language phonics perception because of their short sentence pat
tern, bright rhythm and strong interest. This paper defines the core concepts of rhythm interaction and rhythm sensitivity in cross-language
nursery rhymes, compares the essential differences in tone, stress, rhyme, syllable structure and rhythm organization between Chinese and
English nursery rhymes, systematically explains the triple path of rhythm interaction in cross-language nursery rhymes to shape the rhythm
sensitivity of second language children, summarizes its practical advantages of strengthening phonological perception, relying on mother
tongue transfer, and realizing bilingual rhythm integration, and puts forward specific educational practice suggestions based on family sce
narios. The research shows that cross-language nursery rhyme rhythm interaction can effectively improve children's ability to discriminate
and classify second language phonetic differences, and provide theoretical basis and practical reference for children's second language
phonetic enlightenment education.
