초록
The present study investigates factors influencing speech perception through Korean and English listeners' similarity judgement experiments of stops, nasals and liquids in the contexts of _l/n and l/n_. According to our results, factors influencing perception were phonological systems of contrast in listeners' native language, contexts in which a consonant occurs and phonetic similarity of two segments measured as manners and places of articulation of consonants. Two consonants were confusable to listeners when they are not contrastive in their native language. Listeners were better able to discriminate two onsets than codas. In addition, the members of heterorganic consonants were better discriminated than homorganic consonants, and a sonorant and an obstruent were more easily distinguished than two obstruents or two sonorants. The perceptual distances among consonants obtained from the similarity data showed that two consonants in a specific context were generally confusable to listeners when they are the input and the output of phonological change in their native language.
Abstract
The present study investigates factors influencing speech perception through Korean and English listeners' similarity judgement experiments of stops, nasals and liquids in the contexts of _l/n and l/n_. According to our results, factors influencing perception were phonological systems of contrast in listeners' native language, contexts in which a consonant occurs and phonetic similarity of two segments measured as manners and places of articulation of consonants. Two consonants were confusable to listeners when they are not contrastive in their native language. Listeners were better able to discriminate two onsets than codas. In addition, the members of heterorganic consonants were better discriminated than homorganic consonants, and a sonorant and an obstruent were more easily distinguished than two obstruents or two sonorants. The perceptual distances among consonants obtained from the similarity data showed that two consonants in a specific context were generally confusable to listeners when they are the input and the output of phonological change in their native language.
