Abstract
This paper investigated whether compensation for phonological assimilation is brought on by language-specific mechanisms. To this end, this paper tested Korean obstruent nasalization, which exists in Korean, and English obstruent nasalization, which does not occur in English, by Korean speakers of English and English native speakers, using a word detection task. Overall, it has been shown that compensation for phonological variation is induced by language-specific mechanisms. This is because Korean participants compensated for both Korean and English obstruent nasalizations in a highly context-sensitive way, whereas English participants didn’t show the same pattern. However, some universal mechanisms such as feature parsing and lexical compensation mechanisms may also contribute to compensation for phonological variation to some degree, as phonological viability was affected by lexical status even in the non-native process. Specifically, Korean participants showed a strong context effect for words for the native process and English participants showed a marginal effect for words for the non-native process. In addition, it has been shown that language-specific compensation for phonological assimilation is at work even in a compound noun structure without any higher-order of syntactic/semantic contextual information.
