초록

A principled basis for the non-native acquisition of phonotactics is proposed in light of the phenomena that Korean native speakers adapt to the foreign phonological well-formedness of English as the target language of learning. We discuss five types of phonotactic adaptation, namely, avoidance of neutralization, avoidance of assimilation, preservation of contrasts, progressive assimilation, and a preference for insertion over deletion. Of these five types, progressive assimilation has been little reported in literature, and newly tested in this study by means of production and perception experiments as well as a spectrographic analysis. It is concluded that the principles of enhancement and faithfulness predict the phonotactic adaptation in non-native speech and the overlap principle lends little.

Abstract

A principled basis for the non-native acquisition of phonotactics is proposed in light of the phenomena that Korean native speakers adapt to the foreign phonological well-formedness of English as the target language of learning. We discuss five types of phonotactic adaptation, namely, avoidance of neutralization, avoidance of assimilation, preservation of contrasts, progressive assimilation, and a preference for insertion over deletion. Of these five types, progressive assimilation has been little reported in literature, and newly tested in this study by means of production and perception experiments as well as a spectrographic analysis. It is concluded that the principles of enhancement and faithfulness predict the phonotactic adaptation in non-native speech and the overlap principle lends little.
