Abstract

|
´Deaccentuation´ means the phenomenon that the accent on the particular element which deserves to be accented, disapperars and loses the property of intonational prominence. Based on some theoretical background, we divided the cases where deaccentuation cas be placed into six categories : the first, the case that the words already mentioned are repeated in the context; the second, the case that the element can be recovered anaphorically or situationally; the third, the case that the elements are semantically weightless; the fourth, the case that the meaning of the word is empty; the fifth, the case that the elements are less informative, so that they are easy to predict; the sixth, the case that the elements are located after the focused words. Tfhen we organized the context and the experimental sentences corresponding toeach category. Tfhe utterances of Korean and English natie speakers wee recorded and analysed based on the ToBI system and compared to each other, in order to find out that Korean speakers can distinguish the difference within each sentence pair, and produce them with appropriate intonation similar to that of native speakers.
