This paper deals with non-rhoticity of Korean and Cantonese in English loanword adaptation. These two languages have quite different cultural and historical backgrounds with respect to English. The influence of the American accent prevails in Korea while in Cantonese the influence is British. However, the treatment of coda-/r/ from English illustrates that both languages are the same in that they use a non-rhotic accent. The main point of this paper is to show that the non-rhoticity of these two languages must be accounted for by their native phonological systems rather than extralinguistic factors such as historical. social and / or cultural backgrounds.

판소리의 특질을 연구하기 위하여 여덟 명창의 소리를 분석하였다. 그 결과 모두에게서 유성음임에도 불구하고 비주기성인 소리를 찾았다. 이러한 현상은 매우 높은 성대밑 공기압에 기인한다고 보았다. 이 비주기성 유성음은 명창들의 일반 대화에서도 나타나서 이러한 현상이 곧 성대의 영구적인 변화에 의한 것임을 추정할 수 있었다. 또한 판소리에서 나타나는 vibrato는 서양의 오페라에 비해 주기가 훨씬 길고 범위는 훨씬 넓음이 확인되었다. 그 외에도 모든 명창의 경우 고주파수 영역에서 매우 높은 에너지를 보여주어서 일반인의 발성과 차이가 남을 알 수 있었고, 특히 일부 명창의 경우는 1000Hz 바로 이하에서 유별나게 강한 harmonics가 나타나서 서양 음악의 소위 singer's formant와 대조를 이루었다.

Stress assignment has been much discussed in the literature on English compound nouns. The general view of the stress pattern of English compound nouns is that a main stress falls on the first element and a secondary stress on the second element; however, a stress pattern is often employed that provides counterevidence to the traditional pedagogical approach. A new idea is suggested by Ladd(1984) that 'compound stress represents the deaccenting of the head of the compound.' Recent studies show that initial stressing does not indicate compounds and syntactic phrases are not always characterized by final stressing. In his pilot test Pennanen comments on the frequent variation of stress patterns on individual items, on the basis of which Bauer confirms Pennanen's results with different informants. This paper is an attempt to justify Bauer's analysis with the same data as Bauer's and different subjects. It turns out that the competences of native-speaker informants do not rovide clear-cut answers. Some factors should be taken into account in assigning appropirate stress to compound nouns.

Recently speech technologies have shown notable advancements and they now play major roles in computer-aided language learning systems. In the current paper, use of speech recognition technologies is viewed with our system for teaching English pronunciation to Japanese speakers.

이 글은 제2회 서울 국제 음성학 학술대회(SICOPS 2000) 기조강연 내용을 조금 손질한 것인데, 한국인 영어 학습자가 저지르기 쉬운 발음상 잘못을 모음, 자음별로 관찰하고 그 대책을 논의한다. 모음에서는 주로 i:l, u:$-\sigma$, (equation omitted) 흔동이 문제이며, 또한 90종이 넘는 여러 철자로 나타나는 쭉정모음(schwa) 식별과 정복한 발음도 큰 문제다. 자음에서는 음소 연결방식에서 생기는 자음접변 둥 한 국어 특유 현상을 영어에까지 연장하는 바람에 많은 오류가 생긴다는 것과 영어 sp-, st-, sk-에서 /p t k/는 연한소리(lenis)로 [(equation omitted)]인데, 된소리로 잘못알고 있는 수가 많다는 것도 지적된다. 무룻 영어학습자는 철자만 보고 발음을 속단하지 말고 단어마다 반드시 발음을 사전에서 확인할 것과 아울러 거기에 음성학적 훈련이 수반되어야 함을 역설하며, 정확한 발음을 아는 것은 실제 영어 청취i구사에 뿐 아니라 또한 언어연구 기초확립에 필수적이라는 말로 글을 맺는다.

Syntactic ambiguity can be understood by context usually, especially in reading and writing. Because phonological structure including stress, intonation and phonological phenomena can be pronounced differently according to different syntactic structures, syntactic ambiguity can be solved by phonological structure in listening and speaking. The objectives of this study was to survey how Korean English teachers apply phonological structures in order to solve syntactic ambiguity. The results of this study is as follows: First, Korean English leachers applied Compound Stress Rules well, when the second word was not branched. But they did not apply Compound Stress Rules well, when the second word was branched. Second, several Korean English teachers did not apply Nuclear Stress Rules well. They usually put the strongest stress on the first word. Third Korean English teachers did not differentiate appropriate applying situation of palatalization. They applied palatalization at both the single and the separated Phonological Phrase. Fourth, Korean English teachers did not apply stress shifting when stress crash happened. Because they did not apply stress shifting, they put the strongest stress on inappropriate syllable.

This study is on the constraints of English Poetic Meter. In English poems, the metrical pattern doesn't always match the linguistic stress on the lines. These mismatches are found differently among the poets. The peaks mismatched with the weak metrical position are divided into the two ways according as they are adjacent to the boundary of a phonological domain or not. PAF and $^*UV$] are suggested for the mismatched peak which are not adjacent to the boundary of a phonological domain ; $^*Peak$] and BT for the mismatched peak which are adjacent to the boundary of a phonological domain. For the lexical stress mismatched with the weak metrical position, $^*W{\;}{\Rightarrow}{\;}Strength$ is set up by the concept of the strong syllable. $MPS{\;}{\Rightarrow}{\;}\Phi_{max}$ for the metrical position size can replace the resolution which is used to control the number of syllables in English poems. These constraints show the different hierarchies among the poets.
