Abstract
The production of the two vowels of English, // and //, by early and late Korean- and Japanese-English bilinguals was analyzed to investigate L1 interference and age of acquisition effects. All groups except the late Korean bilinguals were native-like in making the different durational patterns between the two vowels. Both Japanese groups seem to have produced more native-like durational patterns due to their native language’s vowel length being phonemic. Vowel quality (in terms of first and second formant frequencies) of the two vowels was successfully distinguished by all groups, but it was more different from the NE group’s for the late bilinguals: the Japanese group produced far more distinct vowels in both vowel height and tongue advancement, whereas the Korean group produced seemingly less distinct vowels in both standards, compared with those produced by the native English group. However, both Korean and Japanese early bilingual groups produced native-like performance in both duration and quality of the vowels.
