초록

이 연구의 목적은 한국어의 휴지 실현에 과제, 세대, 성별이라는 변수가 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위해 구어 코퍼스에서 세대, 성별에 따른 총 48명을 선정하여 두 가지 발화 과제 데이터를 분석하였다. 휴지는 발화에서 출현하는 위치와 들숨 동반 여부에 따라 들숨 동반 발화 말 휴지, 들숨 동반 발화 내 휴지, 들숨 비동반 발화 말 휴지, 들숨 비동반 발화 말 휴지로 구분하여 살펴보았고 각각의 빈도와 길이, 그리고 휴지에 영향을 줄 수 있는 다양한 요소들을 함께 살펴보았다. 그 결과 발화 말 휴지 길이가 발화 내 휴지 길이보다 약 160 ms 이상 더 긴 것을 확인하였다. 이는 휴지가 운율적 정규성을 가지며, 발화 말 휴지는 발화의 종결을 신호하는 역할을 체계적으로 수행한다는 것을 의미한다. 자유 발화는 낭독 발화보다 더 긴 휴지가 더 자주 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 낭독 발화에서는 화자의 즉각적이고 적극적인 발화 계획이 요구되기 때문이다. 성별의 경우 전반적으로 남성은 여성보다 길고 빈번한 휴지를 보였다. 특히 들숨 동반 휴지는 남성이 여성보다 길었다. 세대의 경우 장년층이 청년층보다 더 자주 휴지를 산출했다. 이 밖에도 변수 간 상호 작용 효과가 관찰되었다. 휴지 길이의 성별 차이에 따르면 남성이 여성보다 휴지 길이가 긴데, 이는 특히 발화 말 휴지에서 두드러졌다.

This paper dealt with how realization of pauses in utterance is affected by speech style, gender, and generation. For this purpose, we analyzed the frequency and duration of pauses. Pauses were categorized into four types: pause with breath, pause with no breath, utterance medial pause, and utterance final pause. Forty-eight subjects living in Seoul were chosen from the Korean Standard Speech Database. All subjects engaged in reading and spontaneous speech, through which we could also compare the realization between the two speech styles. The results showed that utterance final pauses had longer durations than utterance medial pauses. It means that utterance final pause has a function that signals the end of an utterance to the audience. For difference between tasks, spontaneous speech had longer and more frequent pauses because of cognitive reasons. With regard to gender variables, women produced shorter and less frequent pauses. For male speakers, the duration of pauses with breath was significantly longer. Finally, for generation variable, older speakers produced more frequent pauses. In addition, the results showed several interaction effects. Male speakers produced longer pauses, but this gender effect was more prominent at the utterance final position.
