초록

The purpose of this paper is to examine the spectral properties of the two Korean affricates /ㅈ/ and /ㅉ/ produced by Daegu and Jeju speakers as a function of dialects, phonation types, gender, age, and the subsequent vowels. The results of the current study revealed that phonation type had a significant effect on spectral variance, showing that /ㅈ/ has larger dispersion of frequency than /ㅉ/, but dialect did not show a significant effect on peak frequency and spectral moments. Spectral peak frequency, center of gravity, and spectral variance could also distinguish affricates followed by different vowels. Gender and age also showed a significant effect on the peak frequency and center of gravity. Especially, a significant difference between the two genders for the young adult group was observed. This suggests that the frontedness of the place of articulation of Korean affricates may be interpreted as a gender marker as well as a mark of the speech of women in their 20's and 30's.
