A Study of Interlanguage Intonation Manifested in Non-final Endings that Behave like Final Endings

The study aims at analysing intonation as a grammatical indicator that carries more than two meaning functions in the non-final endings that behave like final endings. The study also examines the acquisition patterns of Chinese learners of Korean on the grammatical indicating aspects of Korean intonation. For the study, two experiments were conducted on -geodeun, -neunde, -eul tende, -eulgeol for those endings that acquire new meanings when used as final endings (TypeⅠ) and -euryeogo, -aseo, -eumyeon for those endings that maintain identical meanings when used as final endings (TypeⅡ). In Experiment Ⅰ, conversation texts were recorded by 4 Korean speakers, and the discrimination test was conducted by 8 Korean native speakers. In Experiment Ⅱ, perception test was carried out on 10 Chinese learners of Korean, and data produced by them also were tested by 5 Korean judges. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: First, Korean native speakers tend to be able to discern the different meaning functions by intonation. That is, intonation performs as a grammatical marker. Second, Chinese learners of Korean, despite their long periods of residence and amounts of L2 use, present a lack of competence in their results, and, specifically, conspicuously lower accuracy in Type Ⅰ, compared to Type Ⅱ, in terms of perception and production.
