The purpose of this study is to observe how Korean listeners detect a target phoneme with 'Focus' represented by prosodic prominence and question-induced semantic emphasis, and with intonational manipulation. According to the automated phoneme detection task using E-Prime, the Korean listeners detected phoneme targets more rapidly when the target-bearing words were in prominence position and in question-induced position. However, the presence of question-induced semantic emphasis reduced the prominence effect, so two effects interacted: when question-induced emphasis were primarily given as a cue, prominence which was given as secondary cue affected less to fine the new information. Besides, the intonation with manipulation was responded to faster than without manipulation.

The purpose of this study is to observe how Korean listeners detect a target phoneme with 'Focus' represented by prosodic prominence and question-induced semantic emphasis. According to the automated phoneme detection task using E-Prime, Korean listeners detected phoneme targets more rapidly when the target-bearing words were in prominence position and in question-induced position. However, when phoneme targets were in prominence position, response time was much faster than in question-induced position. The results suggest that the prosodic prominence which is explicit method of focus representation be more effective than question-inducing, implicit method of it, in phoneme detecting.
