초점의 음성적 실현에 나타난 영어 화자의 한국어 운율 체계 습득 양상 연구

Abstract

The study examined interlanguage of English learners of Korean in terms of prosodic features. Six Korean sentences which included focused words were recorded two times by four inexperienced Korean language learner(IEs, 17.8 average months of Korea residence), four experienced Korean language learners(EEs, 6 average years of Korea residence), and four Korean native speakers(Ks). AP-initiation, dephrasing after the focused word, frequency of the pitch peak, the location of the pitch peak, and pitch range were investigated. A perception test also was performed over the IEs, EEs, and Ks. The results revealed that even though length of L2 experience played a great role in acquiring L2 prosodic system, both the IEs and EEs were significantly different from the Ks in terms of the location of the pitch peaks, AP-initiation, the rate of dephrasing, and speech range. Some features were traceable to prosodic features of the L1, namely English. The rest, however, seemed universal features of interlanguage in L2 prosody. (University of Seoul)
