초록

The purpose of this study is to explore Korean-speaking listeners’ use of English phonetic cues in speech syllabification. By partially replicating the study of Coetzee (2011) with Korean learners of English, we found that native language knowledge plays an important role in determining the syllable structure of a speech stream. Structures ill-formed in English were perceptually modified by Korean listeners based on their native phonotactics. The results of the study suggest that the same acoustic stimuli are variously interpreted depending on the native language, and explain how phonological grammar works in cross-language speech perception.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore Korean-speaking listeners’ use of English phonetic cues in speech syllabification.

Structures ill-formed in English were perceptually modified by Korean listeners based on their native phonotactics. The results of the study suggest that the same acoustic stimuli are variously interpreted depending on the native language, and explain how phonological grammar works in cross-language speech perception.
