An Acoustic Phonetic Study on the Korean loanwords Pitch-Accent Realization by Native Japanese Speakers

The purpose of this study is to examine Korean loanwords of which pronunciation is similar to Japanese by analyzing Japanese Korean learners’ pitch patterns with objective values. Considering the point that in Japanese, a word’s accent is maintained in a sentence while in Korean, it is not kept in a sentence, this researcher performed an experiment on loanwords by dividing the cases of sentence unit speech from those of word unit speech. According to the results of analyzing sentence unit speech, in the parts where postpositions are combined, Japanese, the mother tongue’s pitch patterns have negative influence. In the case of single word utterances, a significant difference was found due to the difference in the descending width rather than the difference according to the pattern type. The findings of this study imply that when teaching Japanese learners about Korean pitch patterns, we should consider the phenomena of mother tongue transfer shown in different forms according to the environment of speech and also words’ pitch patterns along with combined postpositions’ pitch patterns.
