Abstract
Ahn, Gil-Soon. 2006. A Study of Korean Students' Perception of English Palatal Endings. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 14(4), 1-19. Understanding the dominant pronunciation of a language may enable us to gain a better understanding of the people who speak the language and their ability of perception. The main goal of this study was to empirically investigate the perception of English palatals by Korean students of English. The instrument consisted of 16 sets, containing 6 non-existent word sets and 10 existent word sets in the dictionary. The participants (22 low-, 22 intermediate-, and 22 advanced-level ESL students from Korea and 10 natives) were asked to fill out a background questionnaire, which was composed of questions regarding personal information. This study has yielded three key findings as follows: First, the Korean speakers of English perceived English palatal endings significantly worse than American speakers, which suggests that Korean speakers of English have perception problems in English palatal finals; Second, Koreans showed a significant difference between words ending with palatals and palatal + [i] endings, which suggests that Koreans have perception problems in palatal codas; Third, the three groups' means in palatal + [i] type were not significantly different from one another unlike those for palatal endings, which suggests Korean students are likely to overuse the palatal + [i] type.
