초록
This study explores how Korean young children produce and perceive stop contrasts in the phonetic dimension of F0. As Seoul Korean is undergoing tonogenetic sound change in which there has been a loss of VOT differentiation in young adults’ speech, while the role of fundamental frequency (F0) in enhancing Korean stop contrasts has been required. To investigate the interrelation between children’s production and perception of F0, the experiments were conducted for three-year-old children. Phonetic analysis showed that lenis and aspirated stops have no significant VOT differences, whereas a significant relationship with F0 was found. The results suggest that acquisition of F0 plays a crucial role in the formation of phonemic categories for lenis and aspirated stops and this process significantly affects articulatory distinction.
Abstract

Phonetic analysis showed that lenis and aspirated stops have no significant VOT differences, whereas a significant relationship with F0 was found. The results suggest that acquisition of F0 plays a crucial role in the formation of phonemic categories for lenis and aspirated stops and this process significantly affects articulatory distinction.
