영문 초록

The present study analyzed Korean learners’ production of English /z/-/dʒ/ and /z/-/ʒ/ contrasts in terms of native speaker judgments and acoustic measurements. Korean learner’s production was judged to be either correct or incorrect by native English speakers. Correct and incorrect productions were then compared with productions of native speakers’ in terms of acoustic analyses. The results indicated that Korean speakers’ correct production was more similar to that of native speakers by sharing more acoustic cues. Incorrect production by Korean speakers indicated patterns either different or opposite from that of native speakers, confirming native speaker judgments. The results also revealed acoustic cues on which native speakers rely in judging L2 speech, thereby implying that the more consistent along with more number of acoustic cues used by native speakers may facilitate the acquisition of segment contrasts by L2 learners.
