This study aims to enhance English pronunciation education for Korean students by examining the impact of standard Korean and Gyeongsang regional dialect on the articulation of English vowels. Data were obtained through the Korean-Spoken English Corpus (K-SEC). Seven Korean words and ten English mono-syllabic words were uttered by adult, male speakers of standard Korean and Gyeongsang regional dialect, in particular, speakers with little to no experience living abroad were selected. Formant frequencies of the recorded corpus data were measured using spectrograms, provided by the speech analysis program, Praat. The recorded data were analyzed using the articulatory graph for formants. The results show that in comparison with speakers using standard Korean, those using the Gyeongsang regional dialect articulated both Korean and English vowels in the back. Moreover, the contrast between standard Korean and Gyeongsang regional dialect in the pronunciation of Korean vowels (/으/, /어/) affected how the corresponding English vowels (/ə/, /ʊ/) were articulated. Regardless of the use of regional dialect, a general feature of vowel pronunciation among Korean people is that they show more narrow articulatory movements, compared with that of native English speakers. Korean people generally experience difficulties with discriminating tense and lax vowels, whereas native English speakers have clear distinctions in vowel articulation.

All research methodologies have a certain research purpose and application range. Therefore, it cannot be conclusively said that some methodologies are superior. Each research methodology has only different research purposes and application ranges. The various theories and methodologies related to the study of Chinese dialect sounds have not been in a confrontational relationship with each other. But the need for analysis of new phenomena has led to the emergence of new methodologies and it has been deepening the depth of the study together, supplementing the theories of the past. The emergence of new theories and methodologies has not only always provided another means for dialect analysis methods, but has also deepened awareness of the changing rules of dialects, the interrelationships between rules and the causes of change. The Chinese dialect is richly embedded in various phenomena that can be seen in human languages. In analyzing the phenomenon of the Chinese dialect, we should first closely observe and judge whether it is the result of internal historical changes in the dialect itself or changes formed by contact or influence with the external dialect, and apply the analytical method accordingly. Sometimes there is a phenomenon formed by a number of complex factors, not one, that requires a comprehensive analysis that combines a variety of theories and methodologies.

음성 인식 기술은 상당 기간 연구 개발이 계속적으로 되었는데 최근에 이르러 스마트 폰이 급속히 확산되면서 그 필요성, 즉, 고품질의 상용 서비스에 대한 욕구가 널리 확산되고 있다. 이런 환경에서도 사실 한국어는 상대적으로 소홀히 다뤄 질 수 있는 가능성이 매우 높다. 이러한 소외는 기술적인 문제로만 남겨지는 것이 아니라 언어라는 측면에서 문화와 직결된다. 이에 한국어 음성 인식 연구는 꼭 필요한 것이고 많은 부분 국가가 정책적으로 지원을 하는 것이 마땅하나 현 상황은 많이 미흡하나 아마도 곧 그 필요성이 대두 될 것이라 예상하며 그를 준비하는 연구로 특화된 분야, 즉, 표준어와 방언들 그리고 감정 표현 언어에 관한 연구를 한다.

Human language activity in the information society has been developing the communication system between humans and machines. The aim of this study was to analyze dialectal speech in Korea. One hundred Kyungsang and one hundred Cholla informants participated in this study. A CSL and Flexible laryngeal fiberscope were used for analysis of the acoustic and glottal gestures of all the vowels and consonants. Test words were made on the picture cards and letter cards which contained each vowel and each consonant, respectively. The dialogue between the examiner and the informants was recorded in a question and answer manner. The acoustic results of two dialects were as follows: Kyungsang and Cholla informants showed neutralization between /e/ and /$\varepsilon$. However, the apertures of Kyungsang vowels /i, w, u, o/ were higher than those of Cholla vowels. The /wi/ and /$\varepsilon$/ of Kyungsang Diphthong vowels were shown as simple vowels /i/ and /$\varepsilon$/ in Cholla dialect. The VOT of Cholla dilaect was longer than that of Kyungsang dialect. The fricative frequence of Kyurlgsang dialect was about 1000Hz higher than that of Cholla dialect. The glottal widths on fiberscopic images showed that the consonant durations of Kyungsang and Cholla dialects were correlated all together with the acoustic duration on the spectrogram.

이 글은 현대 한국어의 모음 음가를 음성학적으로 기술한다. 여기서 한국어란 서울 지역을 근거로 하는 표준말을 뜻한다. 한국어 모음의 소리값을 기술하는 과정에서 일부 방언 및 외국어의 음가와 비교 설명하는 일이 있으므로 이들 방언이나 외국어와 한국 표준말의 소리 차이를 이해하는 데도 도움이 될 것이다. 이 글의 본문은 "음성 반풀어 쓰기"로 적는다. "반풀어 쓰기"란 받침을 아래에 두지 않고 오른쪽 옆으로 적는 것을 말하며 "음성"이란 맞춤법을 따르지 않고 한글 글자를 음성기호로 활용하여 소리나는 대로 적는 법을 뜻한다. 그러므로 각 모음 기호마다 올바른 소리값을 주면서 음성 반풀어 쓰기로 적은 본문을 읽는다면 틀림없이 한국 표준 발음을 하게 될 것이다. 본문에서 긴소리는 같은 글자를 두 번 겹쳐서 나타냈다.

This study examines the acoustic characteristics of Korean stops of two dialects, Seoul and Kyungsang, focusing on VOT(Voice Onset Time). 8 speakers of these two dialects were asked to read 590 words which contain the stops of different places of articulation and phonation types. The results showed that overall the VOTs of Kyungsang dialect were shorter than those of Seoul dialect. This was more prominent in lenis stops than in fortis or aspirated stops. It was also shown that there were significant VOT overlapping differences between the two dialects.

This study examines the acoustic characteristics of Korean stops of two dialect, Seoul and Daegu, 20 speakers of these two dialects were asked to read 15 words containing the stops of different places of articulation and phonation types at initial. The stops in the two dialects show mainly two acoustic differences. Firstly, There was a difference in distinctive features for phonetic types in the two dialects. Secondly, lenis revel fortis`s characters in Daegu dialect.

이 연구는 서울말과 경상도 말의 고저형(tonal patterns)을 외래어 읽기를 통해 비교해 본 것으로, 두 방언의 고저형에 변수로 작용하는 것이 음절수, 음절 구조(폐음절/개음절), 어두 자음의 성격(phonation type) 등임을 밝혔다. 두 방언은 이런 변수의 작용을 선택적으로 받는데 유형론적으로 비성조 언어인 서울말은 음절수, 어두 자음의 성격이 고저형에 영향을 주며, 성조 언어인 경상도말은 음절수와 음절의 구조가 외래어에 있어서는 고저형 결정에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 드러났다.

The purpose of this study is to examine aspects and causes of the change and disappearance in the Gangneung dialect vocabulary about costume. A typical example of linguistic factors that influence the change of costume vocabulary is competition with the standard language. However, costume as culture has a more powerful effect than linguistic factor. For example, the following factors lead to the disappearance: the disappearance of the referent, the inherent characteristics of the costume, the introduction of the new culture, and the change in values about costume.
