초록
This study conducted a production experiment with phone-number strings and natural words as stimuli to evaluate the effect of the consonant-induced pitch on Seoul Korean intonation. The results of the present study show that the pitch range of an Accentual Phrase (AP) is higher when it starts with a high-pitch inducing segment (aspirated or tense) than when it starts with a low-pitch inducing segment (lenis, sonorant, or vowel). That is, later syllables, such as the penultimate and final syllables of APs, are also produced with a high pitch if the AP-initial syllable has a high-pitch inducing onset. We also find that the high-pitch inducing consonants in non-AP-initial syllables raise the pitch values of the syllables but their effect is much smaller than those in the AP-initial syllable. This finding that the high pitch in an AP-initial syllable extends to later syllables of the same AP leads us to hypothesize that the consonant-induced pitch is not merely a local segmental effect; rather, it serves as a potential indication of a tonogenetic sound change.
Abstract
This study conducted a production experiment with phone-number strings and natural words as stimuli to evaluate the effect of the consonant-induced pitch on Seoul Korean intonation.
