文末 助詞 ‘よ’의 發話 意圖에 따른音響音聲學的 特性에 관한 考察

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to study the characteristics of the sentence-final particles’s intonation Japanese language learners show in their speech in the Korean-language-use regions in the aspect of phonetics and is to provide practical and fundamental documents for the intonation education of Japanese language as well. Intonation has many functions and plays an important role in the speech because the intonation difference between native speakers and non-native speakers can cause misunderstanding in their communication. Nevertheless, teaching intonation was neglected in pronunciation instruction for a long time. Recently intonation instruction is considered to be important and necessary. Therefore, this paper examines various usages of prosody on sentence-final particles’s ‘yo’ in japanese. This research addressed sentence-final particles’s intonation for both Korean learner’s speech and Japanese focusing on pitch patterns, containment time for all, and sentence-final particles’s ‘yo’, width of pitch, width of intensity, F1 and F2 rate for vowel. It is considered that speaker’s intention for Japanese sentence-final particles’s ‘yo’ involves many different acoustic characteristics. Furthermore, it is needed to study various speaker’s intention and to conduct tests for Japanese natives to decide Korean natives’ Japanese locution intentions. Also effective and concrete study on methodology education is required to utilize this study for Japanese phonetics study.
