초록
This study examines speech accommodation patterns between Korean English learners and native English speakers, focusing on vowel characteristics and gender at the word and sentence levels. Thirty participants (20 Korean, 10 native) produced target words and sentences with front and back vowels (/i/, /ɪ/, /u/, /ʊ/). Acoustic analysis, using the Difference In Distance (DID) method, revealed that Korean English learners accommodated more at the word level, especially with front vowels, while native English speakers demonstrated greater flexibility at the sentence level, particularly with back vowels. Gender differences were observed, with male learners accommodating more with front vowels at the word level and female learners showing significant changes at the sentence level. Native English speakers, particularly females, exhibited greater flexibility across vowel categories at the sentence level. These findings suggest that Korean English learners focus on word-level pronunciation, while native English speakers use contextual cues more effectively. The results present trends based on individual factor analyses, without including interaction effects among variables. The study underscores the need for targeted training at both the word and sentence levels in language education to enhance communication skills, considering gender and vowel-specific differences.
Abstract
This study examines speech accommodation patterns between Korean English learners and native English speakers, focusing on vowel characteristics and gender at the word and sentence levels. Thirty participants (20 Korean, 10 native) produced target words and sentences with front and back vowels (/i/, /ɪ/, /u/, /ʊ/). Acoustic analysis, using the Difference In Distance (DID) method, revealed that Korean English learners accommodated more at the word level, especially with front vowels, while native English speakers demonstrated greater flexibility at the sentence level, particularly with back vowels. Gender differences were observed, with male learners accommodating more with front vowels at the word level and female learners showing significant changes at the sentence level. Native English speakers, particularly females, exhibited greater flexibility across vowel categories at the sentence level. These findings suggest that Korean English learners focus on word-level pronunciation, while native English speakers use contextual cues more effectively. The results present trends based on individual factor analyses, without including interaction effects among variables. The study underscores the need for targeted training at both the word and sentence levels in language education to enhance communication skills, considering gender and vowel-specific differences.
