English sentence production of native English speakers and Korean learners of English was examined to see how the syntactic ambiguity is resolved by the phonetic realization of durational pattern. The duration of the critical regions related to the syntactic difference was measured. The results of the experiment indicate that native English speakers and Korean learners of English tend to manipulate the durational aspect of the prosody for syntactic disambiguation. In the target phrase composed of a conjoined noun phrase with the preceding adjective, the low attachment was realized as significant lengthening of the first noun and the following pause. The lengthened first noun region was accompanied by the lengthened conjunct 'and' for native English speakers and some Korean learners of English. The results show that the local lengthening in the first noun region plays an important role in disambiguating the attachment differences for both subject groups. Native English speakers used the combination of word lengthening and pause for prosodic phrasing. In contrast, some of the Korean learners of English employed pause alone.
Abstract
English sentence production of native English speakers and Korean learners of English was examined to see how the syntactic ambiguity is resolved by the phonetic realization of durational pattern. The duration of the critical regions related to the syntactic difference was measured. The results of the experiment indicate that native English speakers and Korean learners of English tend to manipulate the durational aspect of the prosody for syntactic disambiguation. In the target phrase composed of a conjoined noun phrase with the preceding adjective, the low attachment was realized as significant lengthening of the first noun and the following pause. The lengthened first noun region was accompanied by the lengthened conjunct 'and' for native English speakers and some Korean learners of English. The results show that the local lengthening in the first noun region plays an important role in disambiguating the attachment differences for both subject groups. Native English speakers used the combination of word lengthening and pause for prosodic phrasing. In contrast, some of the Korean learners of English employed pause alone.
