초록
This paper introduces three enhancements in Korean, which point out the key features of Korean fricatives - [coronal], [strident] and [spread]. Overcoming these three enhancements will lead to the successful learning or attainment of various English fricatives. Furthermore, there lie different difficulty levels in the overcoming of the three enhancements by Korean speakers. As a conclusion, this paper suggests that the third enhancement - fricatives have the feature [spread] - is the most difficult one for Korean speakers to overcome, while the first enhancement - fricatives have the feature [coronal] - is the easiest of the three to overcome. Several implications are provided as to why this observation of different difficulty levels occurs in the learning process of English fricatives by Korean speakers.
Abstract
This paper introduces three enhancements in Korean, which point out the key features of Korean fricatives - [coronal], [strident] and [spread]. Overcoming these three enhancements will lead to the successful learning or attainment of various English fricatives. Furthermore, there lie different difficulty levels in the overcoming of the three enhancements by Korean speakers. As a conclusion, this paper suggests that the third enhancement - fricatives have the feature [spread] - is the most difficult one for Korean speakers to overcome, while the first enhancement - fricatives have the feature [coronal] - is the easiest of the three to overcome. Several implications are provided as to why this observation of different difficulty levels occurs in the learning process of English fricatives by Korean speakers.
