A duration comparison between native speakers of Korean and native speakers of English in the rhyme with a stop coda

This study examines the duration differences between native speakers of Korean and native speakers of English in the rhyme with a voiceless or voiced stop coda. Three hypotheses were examined for this study. First, the voiceless coda percentage of native speakers of Korean was greater than that of native speakers of English in the rhyme with a voiceless stop coda. For native speakers of Korean, the voiceless coda duration was longer than its preceding vowel duration. Second, the vowel percentage of native speakers of English was greater than that of native speakers of Koreans in the rhyme with a voiced stop coda. The gap between the voiced coda duration and its preceding vowel duration was greater in native speakers of English than in native speakers of Korean. Third, the inverse corelation between a stop coda and its preceding vowel was greater in native speakers of English than in native speakers of Korean.
