초록
This study explores Korean learners' production of English onsets with the glide w or j by investigating native English speakers' perception of those onsets produced by Korean learners. In an experiment identifying Korean learners' production of English minimal pairs which differ in the presence or absence of the onset glide, it was found that native English speakers exhibited difficulties in perceiving Korean learners' pronunciation of the English 'w + round vowel' and 'j + high front vowel' sequences, which are not attested in Korean. In addition, native English speakers experienced problems perceiving Korean learners' pronunciation of the English /kw/ sequence although it occurs in Korean. It is conjectured that the combined effects of the shorter VOT with English /kw/ and w-deletion or the phonetic realization of /w/ as a secondary articulation of a preceding consonant in Korean triggered such results in our study.
