초록

본 연구에서는 영국 국왕 엘리자베스 2세와 찰스 3세 발화의 강세 음절 단모음의 포먼트 변화를 분석하였다. 엘리자베스 2세의 1950, 1960, 1980, 2000, 2020년대 다섯 시대에 걸친 발화의 모음의 변화를 관찰하였고, 찰스 3세와 비교 연구도 진행하였다. 이를 위해 두 왕의 성탄절 축하 방송 자료를 발화 경계를 나누어 음성 처리한 후 통계 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과 엘리자베스 여왕의 강세 음절 단모음은 1980년대부터 상하폭과 전후폭이 유의미하게 확장되었고, 2020년대에는 연령의 영향으로 2000년대에 비해 조금 좁아졌다. 엘리자베스 2세와 찰스 3세의 포먼트 분포는 성별 차이에 따라 뚜렷이 구별되었으며, 찰스 3세의 발화가 엘리자베스 2세의 발화보다 조음 폭이 훨씬 좁았고, 포먼트 차트상 좀 더 높은 곳과 뒤쪽에서 포먼트가 형성되었다.

This study examines the formants of monophthongal vowels in the speech of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III of the United Kingdom. It analyzes vowel changes in the Queen's speech across five time periods (1950s, 1960s, 1980s, 2000s, and 2020s) and compares her vowels with those of the King. Recordings of their Christmas broadcasts were annotated, processed, and statistically analyzed. The results indicate that Queen Elizabeth II's monophthongal vowel space expanded significantly, both vertically and horizontally, from the 1980s, before slightly compressing in the 2020s, likely due to her advanced age. A clear distinction was observed between the Queen's English and King's English, with King Charles III's vowel formant space being notably compressed and shifted to a higher, more backward position on the formant chart compared to the Queen's.
