Abstract

|
This study investigates the relation among pitch range differences, speech rate and realization of stress. To identify therealization of the stress, vowel formants and durational differences of stressed and unstressed vowels are measured. TheKorean learners were asked to read a textbook passage which includes nine sentences. The major results indicate that: (1)Korean speakers' pitch range is less than 50% of the native speakers; (2) There is a significantly negative relation betweenhigh-low pitch range and speech rate; (3) The vowel qualities and durations of the stressed and unstressed vowels are relatedto the speech rate. But these are not related to the high-low pitch range.
