초록
This study tested the perception-production link hypothesis by examining the perception and production of Korean EFL learners on English stress. On the basis of the previous studies, which gave evidence that Korean listeners tend to rely on pitch more than other suprasegmental cues for English stress and that they are partially attentive to intensity and vowel reduction in perception, the study carried out a production experiment and compared the results with those from the perception experiment. When Korean learners read sentences without paying attention to the stress patterns of words, either the segmental or the suprasegmental cues of English stress were rarely implemented in their production. With a focus on the stress patterns, Korean learners produced stressed syllables with longer duration and higher intensity, while using less pitch difference and vowel reduction. These results showed asymmetrical patterns from those of the perception experiment, which suggests that there is no strong perception-production correlation in the acquisition of English stress by Korean EFL learners. However, this study proposes another possibility that EFL learners experience a long time lapse for the perception-production link since they have not been learning the language in English-speaking environments. This possibility will be tested in a follow-up study where advanced ESL learners will participate.
Abstract
This study tested the perception-production link hypothesis by examining the perception and production of Korean EFL learners on English stress. On the basis of the previous studies, which gave evidence that Korean listeners tend to rely on pitch more than other suprasegmental cues for English stress and that they are partially attentive to intensity and vowel reduction in perception, the study carried out a production experiment and compared the results with those from the perception experiment. When Korean learners read sentences without paying attention to the stress patterns of words, either the segmental or the suprasegmental cues of English stress were rarely implemented in their production. With a focus on the stress patterns, Korean learners produced stressed syllables with longer duration and higher intensity, while using less pitch difference and vowel reduction. These results showed asymmetrical patterns from those of the perception experiment, which suggests that there is no strong perception-production correlation in the acquisition of English stress by Korean EFL learners. However, this study proposes another possibility that EFL learners experience a long time lapse for the perception-production link since they have not been learning the language in English-speaking environments. This possibility will be tested in a follow-up study where advanced ESL learners will participate.
