초록
An emphasis on teaching suprasegmental features of English, specifically English rhythm, is essential in order to improve the ‘intelligibility’ of the pronunciation of Korean EFL learners among interlocutors who use English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). By redefining the ELF suggested by Jenkins (2000, 2002), this paper argues that Lingua Franca Core (LFC) must include suprasegmental features such as ‘stress-based rhythm’ and word stress. However, because ‘isochrony’ is difficult to measure in a foot, the rhythm unit must be expanded to an intonational phrase which has prominence in it and the rhythm of the unit can be measured by calculating the duration of each segment in context. The rhythmic pattern of Korean learners of English and that of native speakers or other non-native English speakers can then be calculated and compared by using correlation coefficients of the segmental duration. In terms of sociolinguistic factors, improving the ‘comprehensibility’ and ‘accentedness’ of Korean EFL learners’ pronunciation is also important in international communication, which calls for more emphasis on suprasegmental features.
Abstract
An emphasis on teaching suprasegmental features of English, specifically English rhythm, is essential in order to improve the ‘intelligibility’ of the pronunciation of Korean EFL learners among interlocutors who use English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). By redefining the ELF suggested by Jenkins (2000, 2002), this paper argues that Lingua Franca Core (LFC) must include suprasegmental features such as ‘stress-based rhythm’ and word stress. However, because ‘isochrony’ is difficult to measure in a foot, the rhythm unit must be expanded to an intonational phrase which has prominence in it and the rhythm of the unit can be measured by calculating the duration of each segment in context. The rhythmic pattern of Korean learners of English and that of native speakers or other non-native English speakers can then be calculated and compared by using correlation coefficients of the segmental duration. In terms of sociolinguistic factors, improving the ‘comprehensibility’ and ‘accentedness’ of Korean EFL learners’ pronunciation is also important in international communication, which calls for more emphasis on suprasegmental features.
