|
The purpose of this paper is to find out how Korean speakers' speech production in English word boundaries differs fromEnglish speakers' and to account for what bring about such differences. Seeing two consecutive words as one single cluster,the English speakers generally pronounce them naturally by linking a word-final consonant of the first word with aword-initial vowel of the second word, while this is not the case with most of the Korean speakers; they read the twoconsecutive words individually. In consequence, phonological processes such as resyllabification and aspiration can be foundin the English speakers' word-boundary production, while glottalization, and unreleased stops are rather common phonologicalprocess seen in the Korean speakers' word-boundary production. This may be accounted for by Korean speakers' L1interference, depending on English proficiency.
