Abstract

This study investigates how Chinese learners of Korean perceive and produce Korean lax, tense and aspirated consonants and how the perception and production are related. For this purpose an experiment was conducted in production and perception of Korean consonants with ten Chinese participants who were learning the Korean language for less than six months. According to the result, the Chinese participants had difficulties in perceiving Korean lax, aspirated, tense consonants in order and difficulties in producing Korean lax, tense and aspirated consonants in order. However, it is certain that there is correlation in perceiving and producing Korean tense consonants. In the experiment, most Chinese learners perceive Korean lax consonants as Korean aspirated consonants and produced them as Korean tense consonants. They mostly perceived Korean tense consonants as Korean lax consonants and produced them as Korean aspirated consonants. They perceived Korean aspirated consonants as Korean lax consonants and produce them as Korean lax consonants or as tense consonants.
