초록

본 연구에서는 영어-한국어 이중언어 화자의 평균 기본주파수를 분석하여 언어 및 과제에 따른 차이가 있는지 살펴보고, 거주년수 및 언어 능숙도에 따라 언어 간 평균 기본주파수 상이한지 실펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상자는 영어권 나라에 7년 이상 거주한 한국어-영어 균형적 이중언어 집단 총 28명(남녀 각각 14명, 균형적 이중언어집단), 언어 노출기간 및 언어 능숙도에 차이를 두기 위해 추가로 모집한 영어권 나라 거주년수 3년 이하인 한국어 우세 이중언어 집단 총 20명(남녀 각각 10명, 한국어 우세 이중언어 집단)이다. 이들은 한국어와 영어로 읽기 및 자발화 과제를 수행하였고 Praat을 통해 녹음한 음성파일의 평균 기본주파수를 분석하였다. 이후 각 성별 내 언어 ${\times}$ 과제 이원 배치 분산 분석(two-way repeated ANOVA) 및 집단 ${\times}$ 언어의 이원 혼합 분산 분석(two-way mixed ANOVA)을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 언어 및 과제에 따라 균형적 이중언어 집단의 남녀 대상군 별로 상이한 결과가 나타났다. 여성의 경우 한국어보다 영어의 평균 기본주파수가 유의하게 높았으며(p=.003), 자발화과제보다 읽기 과제에서 평균 기본주파수가 유의하게 높았다(p=.002). 그러나 남성의 경우, 어떠한 조건에서도 유의한 결과가 나타나지 않았다. 두 번째로, 언어 능숙도에 따른 집단 간 비교에서 여성 대상자들에서만 언어 간 기본주파수 변화가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다(p=.000). 즉, 한국어 읽기 과제에서 평균 기본주파수가 영어 읽기 과제보다 유의하게 높았다. 그러나 언어 능숙도에 따른 평균 기본주파수의 변화는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(p=.830). 남성 대상자의 경우는 어떤 조건에서도 유의한 결과는 없었다. 결과적으로, 이중언어 화자의 언어 간 평균 기본주파수의 변화는 언어의 능숙도와 관계없이 성별에 따라 상이하게 나타났으며 본 연구를 바탕으로 언어 간 평균 주파수의 차이가 해부생리학적 요인이나 언어학적 요인보다도 사화문화적인 요인에 의한 것임을 생각해 볼 수 있도록 한다.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the mean fundamental frequency (F0) changes depending on language, task, or language proficiency for Korean-English bilinguals. A total of forty-eight Korean-English speakers (28 balanced bilinguals and 20 Korean dominant bilinguals) participated in the study. Participants were asked to read aloud two types of tasks in English and Korean. For statistical analyses, the language ${\times}$ task two-way repeated ANOVAs were conducted within the balanced bilingual group first, and then group ${\times}$ language two-way mixed ANOVAs. The results showed that the females in both bilingual groups changed their mean F0 depending on the language they used and the tasks (p<.05), whereas no significant results were found in the males in either group under any conditions. The mean fundamental frequency in the Korean reading task was significantly higher than that in the English reading task for females in both balanced and Korean dominant bilingual groups. Thus, changes in mean F0 depending on language and context may reflect gender-specific characteristics, and females seem to be more sensitive to the socio-cultural standards that are imposed on them.
