Abstract
This study proposed uttering differences of adverbs according to the adverb placement among acoustic parameters, such as vowel duration, intensity, and F0 produced by 26 Korean speakers and 20 American speakers. This study mainly suggested four interesting findings: First, the duration and intensity of the vowels were strengthened when following the adverb to verb than following the adverb to nouns in both groups. Second, the vowel duration of adverbs in the final position of sentences was longer than in other types in both groups. Third, F0 of the vowel was strengthened when following the adverb of verbs than following the adverb of nouns produced by Korean speakers while American speakers relied more on the duration and intensity of vowels. Lastly, the closer the bond between the adverb and the verb, the more inverse the degree of reinforcement in the duration and intensity of the vowel.
