초록
While lexicalized phonological processes tend to be rule-governed and yield categorical patterns, post-lexical processes result in a great deal of phonetic variability across speakers. Of our special interest is whether highly individualized patterns are acquired by L2 learners and how they are articulatorily manifested in L2 speech. Using ultrasound imaging of five Korean learners of English, the present study investigates the articulation of coronal stops followed by /ɹ/, known as /ɹ/- induced retroflexion, and examines the inter-speaker variation among L2 learners. Tongue contours produced by L2 speakers confirm highly individualized patterns across speakers, along with different degrees of retraction within and across morphemes and words. The gestural patterns offer new insights into covert articulatory patterns that emerge from L2 speakers, and add to the growing evidence of inter-speaker variation in L2 speech as well as in L1.
Abstract
