초록
The current study investigates the effects of the Eastern Gyeongnam dialect on students’ English intonation. Research questions are as follows: (1) Does the Eastern Gyeongnam dialect have effects on English intonation of students? (2) Is there any difference between middle and high school students in English intonation? The experiment was conducted with the help of ten middle and ten high school students from Gyeongnam province and two American native speakers. Subjects read eight English sentences and seven Korean sentences out loud and their voice was recorded. Recordings were analyzed and compared using a speech analysis software program Praat and IBM SPSS. Five elements were mainly studied in English recordings: initial pitch contours, final pitch contours, pitch range, word stress, and the pitch gap around nuclear stress. Results of the experiment show that the Eastern Gyeongnam dialect can affect English intonation regardless of the educational stage, especially in initial pitch contours and word stress patterns. Overall, the results of the experiment corroborated the findings of several previous studies on the same topic. This study sheds light on the possibility of the transfer of the dialect and revealed that the Eastern Gyeongnam dialect can influence English intonation in various areas regardless of the educational stage.
