초록
An analysis showing the effect of L2 exposure on the acoustic patterns of vowel variation was presented for native English learners of Korean with differing levels of proficiency. Speech materials consisted of seven Korean vowels in isolated framed sentences. The analysis was based on measurements of duration and the frequencies of the first two formants from the vowel tokens. Recordings were made for ten BEK (beginning native English learners of Korean) and ten AEK (advanced native English learners of Korean) who were living in Korea at the time of the experiment, along with ten native Korean speakers as control group. These 30 speakers were all males in between 25 to 35 years of age. Differences among the three groups were found in the acoustic features of vowels. The advanced native English learners of Korean group exhibited shorter duration and closer values of F1 and F2 of the vowel to the native Korean group, providing evidence of more accurate articulatory position. In comparison between the two native English groups, it was safe to say that the effect of proficiency had some influence on formants and duration of L2 vowels. Each vowel, however, was found to be slightly different in its degree of proficiency.
Abstract
An analysis showing the effect of L2 exposure on the acoustic patterns of vowel variation was presented for native English learners of Korean with differing levels of proficiency. Speech materials consisted of seven Korean vowels in isolated framed sentences. The analysis was based on measurements of duration and the frequencies of the first two formants from the vowel tokens. Recordings were made for ten BEK (beginning native English learners of Korean) and ten AEK (advanced native English learners of Korean) who were living in Korea at the time of the experiment, along with ten native Korean speakers as control group. These 30 speakers were all males in between 25 to 35 years of age. Differences among the three groups were found in the acoustic features of vowels. The advanced native English learners of Korean group exhibited shorter duration and closer values of F1 and F2 of the vowel to the native Korean group, providing evidence of more accurate articulatory position. In comparison between the two native English groups, it was safe to say that the effect of proficiency had some influence on formants and duration of L2 vowels. Each vowel, however, was found to be slightly different in its degree of proficiency.
