초록
The feature of aspiration is phonemic in Korean, but allophonic in Japanese, while the feature of voicing is allophonic in Korean, but phonemic in Japanese. Given the difference of sound system between Korean and Japanese, the present study examined how the Japanese learners of Korean perceived the Korean phonological and phonetic contrasts. This study also evaluated the task effect such as discrimination paradigms (AX vs. AXB) on the speech perception. The results of the discrimination tasks showed that Japanese learners were more successful in discriminating plain and aspirated stops than voiced and voiceless stops in Korean; and they showed great improvement in discriminating phonemes as their general proficiency of Korean increased. However, there was no significant improvement in the discrimination of allophones. These results suggest that even the feature which is used in L1 is perceived less successfully if it has no phonological function in the target language. It was also shown that discrimination is greatly affected by the discrimination paradigm. Similar to the results of previous literature, discrimination of the phonemic pairs was more successful in an AXB task, while that of the allophonic pairs was more successful in an AX task.
Abstract
The feature of aspiration is phonemic in Korean, but allophonic in Japanese, while the feature of voicing is allophonic in Korean, but phonemic in Japanese. Given the difference of sound system between Korean and Japanese, the present study examined how the Japanese learners of Korean perceived the Korean phonological and phonetic contrasts. This study also evaluated the task effect such as discrimination paradigms (AX vs. AXB) on the speech perception. The results of the discrimination tasks showed that Japanese learners were more successful in discriminating plain and aspirated stops than voiced and voiceless stops in Korean; and they showed great improvement in discriminating phonemes as their general proficiency of Korean increased. However, there was no significant improvement in the discrimination of allophones. These results suggest that even the feature which is used in L1 is perceived less successfully if it has no phonological function in the target language. It was also shown that discrimination is greatly affected by the discrimination paradigm. Similar to the results of previous literature, discrimination of the phonemic pairs was more successful in an AXB task, while that of the allophonic pairs was more successful in an AX task.
