초록
Previous studies report that native speakers of English make use of stochastic patterns governing vowel-to-grapheme mappings in English when they spell vowels appearing in unfamiliar English words. The current study explores whether the same type of factor plays a role for Korean EFL learners in their converting vowels appearing in (auditorily presented) unfamiliar English words to vowel graphemes. The results from the current study indicate that Korean speakers’ spellings of word-medial English vowels are affected by two types of statistics: (i) how often a vowel is spelled with a particular grapheme before a specific coda consonant and (ii) how often a vowel is spelled with a particular grapheme in the English lexicon in general. We suggest that the current results are in favor of the view that an important process of learning an L2 involves acquiring stochastic phonology-to-grapheme mapping patterns that L2 learners encounter when they are exposed to a target language.
Abstract
Previous studies report that native speakers of English make use of stochastic patterns governing vowel-to-grapheme mappings in English when they spell vowels appearing in unfamiliar English words. The current study explores whether the same type of factor plays a role for Korean EFL learners in their converting vowels appearing in (auditorily presented) unfamiliar English words to vowel graphemes. The results from the current study indicate that Korean speakers’ spellings of word-medial English vowels are affected by two types of statistics: (i) how often a vowel is spelled with a particular grapheme before a specific coda consonant and (ii) how often a vowel is spelled with a particular grapheme in the English lexicon in general. We suggest that the current results are in favor of the view that an important process of learning an L2 involves acquiring stochastic phonology-to-grapheme mapping patterns that L2 learners encounter when they are exposed to a target language.
