초록
This paper provides the differences of pausing intervals between native speakers of English (NSE) and Korean learners of English (KLE). An experiment has been performed to check the intuitions of twenty subjects. There were three data sets for the experiment. The first is a sequence of a verb and its complement. The second is a sequence of a verb and its adjunct. The last is a sequence of a verb in a relative clause and a main verb. After making recordings, the researcher measured the time between the boundaries of the target phrases using waveform analysis. With respect to the differences in measured times, similarities and differences between the subjects were mentioned. The findings of the current study are expected to provide some implications for teaching English in the classroom. In sum, this paper investigates whether Korean learners of English know where to give a pause by comparing with native speakers.
