한국어 비음화의 오류 유형과 원인 분석 - 중국인 학습자와 일본인 학습자를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study aims to propose and analyze the patterns of error from the process of Korean nasalization produced by the Chinese and Japanese learner. In this study, we focus on the learner’s errors related to the linguistic background as well as examine the practical pronunciation that the learners represent in the environment where the nasal element involved. The Chinese learner tends to produce more diverse types of error than the Japanese learner. Chinese learners apply the deletion of syllable-final consonants as known as the coda deletion, also pronounce the gemination linked through a syllable boundary while applying the nasalization should be required. In this case, the coda deletion is a representative type of error as a solution of avoiding the reversal of sonority sequence. This type of error is based on the coda deleting convention of Chinese applies to the first member of syllable sequence which has a preceding syllable-final consonant. The Japanese learner, basically cannot pronounce the syllable-final nasal corresponding syllable-initial nasal properly. Therefore, they copy the place of articulation given by the following consonant when they should pronounce the nasalized syllable-final consonants. This type of convention blocks an adequate application of Korean nasalization in terms of manner of articulation. In the situation requires the application of nasalization, the Japanese learner tends to apply the redundant place assimilation.
