Abstract
|
|
|
This study investigates the role of suprasegmental features with respect to the intelligibility of Korean-spoken English judged by Korean and English raters as being good or bad. It has been hypothesized that Korean raters would have different evaluations from English native raters and that the effect may vary depending on the types of suprasegmental factors. Four Korean and four English native raters, respectively, took part in the evaluation of 14 Korean subjects¡¯ English speaking. The subjects read a given paragraph. The results show that the evaluation for ¡®intelligibility¡¯ is different for the two groups and that the difference comes from their perception of L2 English suprasegmentals.
