This study aimed to investigate gemination arising from the suffix -ly in Korean English learners through two experiments. Experiment 1 examined gemination through the suffix -ly in terms of absolute duration, preceding vowel duration, and relative duration by Korean English learners and English speakers and compared it with gemination in simplex words. The results showed no geminate-singleton contrast in -ly complex words and simplex words for English speakers, but as the base words contain more orthographic lateral consonants before the suffix -ly, absolute durations increased. Similarly, Korean English learners at an advanced level tended to produce longer absolute durations in -ly complex words with more orthographic lateral consonants in the base word. However, Korean English learners at both advanced and intermediate levels showed no durational differences associated with gemination when the preceding vowels were stressed. But they produced longer absolute durations for double laterals through the suffix -ly than for single laterals. Simple word had longer absolute durations for double laterals but shorter preceding vowel durations, resulting in longer relative durations for double laterals. In Experiment 2, sixty-two Korean English learners rated familiarity and semantic segmentability of -ly complex words. The results showed that familiarity and segmentability ratings were correlated, and that weak morpheme boundary by lower segmentability led the laterals across morpheme boundary to undergo phonetic reduction, resulting in shorter absolute durations. The duration of -ly complex word seems to be influenced by spelling information, but morphological decomposability more strongly affects phonetic reduction of absolute durations of double laterals at morpheme boundary.
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate gemination arising from the suffix -ly in Korean English learners through two experiments. Experiment 1 examined gemination through the suffix -ly in terms of absolute duration, preceding vowel duration, and relative duration by Korean English learners and English speakers and compared it with gemination in simplex words. The results showed no geminate-singleton contrast in -ly complex words and simplex words for English speakers, but as the base words contain more orthographic lateral consonants before the suffix -ly, absolute durations increased. Similarly, Korean English learners at an advanced level tended to produce longer absolute durations in -ly complex words with more orthographic lateral consonants in the base word. However, Korean English learners at both advanced and intermediate levels showed no durational differences associated with gemination when the preceding vowels were stressed. But they produced longer absolute durations for double laterals through the suffix -ly than for single laterals. Simple word had longer absolute durations for double laterals but shorter preceding vowel durations, resulting in longer relative durations for double laterals. In Experiment 2, sixty-two Korean English learners rated familiarity and semantic segmentability of -ly complex words. The results showed that familiarity and segmentability ratings were correlated, and that weak morpheme boundary by lower segmentability led the laterals across morpheme boundary to undergo phonetic reduction, resulting in shorter absolute durations. The duration of -ly complex word seems to be influenced by spelling information, but morphological decomposability more strongly affects phonetic reduction of absolute durations of double laterals at morpheme boundary.
