We explored Dutch listeners’ perception of Korean three-way contrast of fortis, lenis, and aspirated stops. The threeKorean stops are all voiceless word-initially, whereas Dutch distinguishes between voiced and voiceless stops, so Koreanvoiceless stops were expected to be difficult for the Dutch listeners. Among the three Korean stops, fortis stops arephonetically most similar to Dutch voiceless stops, thus they were expected to be the easiest to distinguish for the Dutchlisteners. Dutch and Korean listeners carried out a discrimination task using three crucial comparisons, i.e., fortis-lenis,fortis-aspirated, and lenis-aspirated stops. Results showed that discrimination between lenis and aspirated stops was the mostdifficult among the three comparisons for both Dutch and Korean listeners. As expected, Dutch listeners discriminated fortisfrom the other stops relatively accurately. It seems likely that Dutch listeners relied heavily on VOT but less on F0 whendiscriminating between the three Korean stops.
