초록

In this paper we examine the perception of onset clusters containing /w/ in order to assess the ability of Korean learners of English to perceive syllable membership. Results of the experiment conducted here indicate that /kw/ sequences are more easily perceived than either /tw/ or /sw/ sequences. We maintain that, while measuring perception is a far more complex task than assessing production, it is a crucially important one for L2 acquisition and should not be neglected because of its inherent challenges. In addition to the theoretical importance of this research, there is also a significant pedagogical component: the ability to perceive syllables correctly bears on a number of issues related to the acquisition of English phonology, including the determination of stress placement, the formation of the comparative/ superlative, the (mis)perception of near‐minimal pairs and the hangulization of foreign words.

Abstract

In this paper we examine the perception of onset clusters containing /w/ in order to assess the ability of Korean learners of English to perceive syllable membership.
