초록
The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) it seeks an empirical support for Hedberg and Sosa(2001, 2002) who criticized Pierrehumbert and Hirschberg(1990) in that contrastive focus is not always realized as L+H* pitch accent, and (2) it examines the connection between perception and production of contrastive focus. It deviates from previous studies in looking at the production of Korean learners in terms of their different language proficiency level in addition to that of native speakers. The production experiment shows that English native speakers and Korean learners with high proficiency use at large a L+H* pitch contour for contrastive focus. However, L*+H, H*+L contours also appear at high rate, lending support to Hedberg and Sosa(2001, 2002). The low proficiency group, with dominant realization of H*+L and de-accentuation, did not properly produce contrastive focus, indicating their lack of awareness of contrastive focus in utterance. When each group listens to other groups’ speech containing contrastive focus, English native speakers and high proficiency Korean learners correctly perceive contrastive focus in sentences, but did have difficulty perceiving it in the speech of low proficiency Korean group. This low proficiency group had low perception rate proportional to the low production rate.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) it seeks an empirical support for Hedberg and Sosa(2001, 2002) who criticized Pierrehumbert and Hirschberg(1990) in that contrastive focus is not always realized as L+H* pitch accent, and (2) it examines the connection between perception and production of contrastive focus. It deviates from previous studies in looking at the production of Korean learners in terms of their different language proficiency level in addition to that of native speakers. The production experiment shows that English native speakers and Korean learners with high proficiency use at large a L+H* pitch contour for contrastive focus. However, L*+H, H*+L contours also appear at high rate, lending support to Hedberg and Sosa(2001, 2002). The low proficiency group, with dominant realization of H*+L and de-accentuation, did not properly produce contrastive focus, indicating their lack of awareness of contrastive focus in utterance. When each group listens to other groups’ speech containing contrastive focus, English native speakers and high proficiency Korean learners correctly perceive contrastive focus in sentences, but did have difficulty perceiving it in the speech of low proficiency Korean group. This low proficiency group had low perception rate proportional to the low production rate.
