초록
This study focuses on unnecessary adaptation, where a source language structure is repaired even when the foreign form would have been faithful to the structure of a borrowing language. One example of this sort of accommodation is found in Korean loanword adaptation; Korean speakers tend to adapt English words ending in stops with vowel insertion even though Korean phonotactics allows word-final stops. This study considers two possible hypotheses to explain this vowel insertion, i.e., adaptation-in-production vs. adaptation-in-perception, and reports on a perception experiment designed to decide between the two approaches. In a categorization task, Korean participants categorized English stop-final and vowel-final nonce forms in a forced choice task where they were asked whether the form ended in a consonant. The experimental result showed that the Korean participants were more likely to identify a final English stop as stop-vowel when the stop was released than when it was unreleased. This finding was consistent with the adaptation-in-perception approach, indicating that the apparently unmotivated vowel insertion in Korean listeners results from their misperception of the English words rather than a production grammar maintaining perceptual similarity between English and Korean forms, and that the illusory vowel perception is correlated with the audible release bursts of the English final stops.
Abstract
This study focuses on unnecessary adaptation, where a source language structure is repaired even when the foreign form would have been faithful to the structure of a borrowing language. One example of this sort of accommodation is found in Korean loanword adaptation; Korean speakers tend to adapt English words ending in stops with vowel insertion even though Korean phonotactics allows word-final stops. This study considers two possible hypotheses to explain this vowel insertion, i.e., adaptation-in-production vs. adaptation-in-perception, and reports on a perception experiment designed to decide between the two approaches. In a categorization task, Korean participants categorized English stop-final and vowel-final nonce forms in a forced choice task where they were asked whether the form ended in a consonant. The experimental result showed that the Korean participants were more likely to identify a final English stop as stop-vowel when the stop was released than when it was unreleased. This finding was consistent with the adaptation-in-perception approach, indicating that the apparently unmotivated vowel insertion in Korean listeners results from their misperception of the English words rather than a production grammar maintaining perceptual similarity between English and Korean forms, and that the illusory vowel perception is correlated with the audible release bursts of the English final stops.
