초록
This study explores language universal and specific influences on Korean and English listeners’ perception of a consonant/lateral cluster. Our results show the influence of language universal factors such as similarity of segments, the perceptibility of a segment, and perceptual robustness of onsets. In addition, the influence of language specific factors was also attested such as the presence or absence of a phonemic contrast in a native language, the input and output of a phonological change, and sound sequences allowed or disallowed in a native language. In general, listeners showed difficulty when discriminating consonant clusters consisting of similar segments. For consonant clusters not attested in their native language, listeners were able to discriminate them relatively well if the clusters are comprised of segments which are dissimilar. In addition, the discrimination of perceptually weak segments in consonant clusters caused difficulty even when the consonant clusters are allowed in a native language.
Abstract
This study explores language universal and specific influences on Korean and English listeners’ perception of a consonant/lateral cluster. Our results show the influence of language universal factors such as similarity of segments, the perceptibility of a segment, and perceptual robustness of onsets. In addition, the influence of language specific factors was also attested such as the presence or absence of a phonemic contrast in a native language, the input and output of a phonological change, and sound sequences allowed or disallowed in a native language. In general, listeners showed difficulty when discriminating consonant clusters consisting of similar segments. For consonant clusters not attested in their native language, listeners were able to discriminate them relatively well if the clusters are comprised of segments which are dissimilar. In addition, the discrimination of perceptually weak segments in consonant clusters caused difficulty even when the consonant clusters are allowed in a native language.
