영문 초록

This study mainly examines whether vowel duration functions as a perceptual cue to the voicing of English word-final stops. In addition, non-temporal properties such as native language background of listeners and the presence and/or absence of release bursts are also investigated. Two perception experiments and one production experiment were conducted with native speakers of English and those of Korean. Results show that, in perception, vocalic duration is not a significant factor on the voicing judgment of word-final stops in English, but rather, voicing that is intrinsic to postvocalic consonants is a determinant. In production, consonantal voicing has a limited impact on the preceding vowel duration, indicating that the relation between consonantal voicing and vocalic duration is not as strong as what has been reported in previous research.
