When two speakers read a text together, the produced speech has been shown to reduce a high degree of variability (e.g., pause duration and placement, and speech rate). This paper provides a quantitative analysis of speech rate variation exhibited in synchronous speech by examining the global and local patterns in two dialects of Mandarin Chinese (Taiwan and Shanghai). We analyzed the speech data in terms of mean speech rate and the reference of "Just Noticeable difference (JND)" within a subject and across subjects. Our findings show that speakers show lower and less variable speech rates when they read a text synchronously than when they read alone. This global pattern is observed consistently across speakers and dialects maintaining the unique local variation patterns of speech rate for each dialect. We conclude that paired speakers lower their speech rates and decrease the variability in order to ensure the synchrony of their speech.

The purpose of this paper is to study deletion of the Arabic glottal stop /'/ in Literary Arabic(LA) and Cairene Arabic(CA). Arabic has a diglossia structure - Literary and Colloquial Arabic. The former is the standard and written language, while the latter is the oral language used in dialects of many areas. Of the various Colloquial Arabic dialects the Cairene Arabic is the most influential and powerful dialect, hence it was chosen as the subject study. In this paper the followings are found: (1) The deletion of the Arabic glottal stop /'/ in CA is found much more frequently than that in LA (2) In a word the deletion is found more frequently in the middle position than in the initial or final position, in which /'/ is sometimes converted weak consonants /w/ or /y/.

표준어와 방언사이에는 위계가 존재하지 않고 열등하지 않다는 사상을 기반으로 방언을 보존하기 위한 다양한 노력들이 이루어지고있다. 또한 동일한 국가내에서 표준어와 방언간의 의사소통이 잘 이루어져야한다. 본 논문은 방언 연구보존과 의사소통의 중요성을 바탕으로 한국어 방언 기계번역 연구를 진행하였다. 대표적인 방언 중 하나인 제주어와 더불어 강원어, 경상어, 전라어, 충청어 기반의 기계번역 연구를 진행하였다. 공개된 AI Hub 데이터를 바탕으로 Transformer기반 copy mechanism을 적용하여 방언 기계번역의 성능을 높이는 모델링 연구를 진행하였으며 모델배포의 효율성을 위하여 Many-to-one기반 universal한 방언 기계번역기를 개발하였고 이를 one-to-one 모델과의 성능비교를 진행하였다. 실험결과 copy mechanism이 방언 기계번역 모델에 매우 효과적인 요소임을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 공학적 응용의 기초가 되는 신호 처리의 관점에서 한국어의 평양 지역어의 자음과 서울 지역어의 자음에 대한 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 지금까지 대다수의 음성학적 연구는 언어의 진화에서 중요한 역할을 하는 모음을 중심으로 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 어떤 언어든 거의 모든 경우 자음의 수가 모음의 수보다 많다. 따라서 자음에 대한 음성학적 연구 또한 언어 연구에서 중요한 것이다. 본 논문은 음운론적 또는 실험음성학적 방법들로 진행된 평양 지역어의 모음 연구에 더하여 공학적인 방법으로 자음 연구를 수행하였다. 평양 지역어와 서울 지역어에서 음가상 많은 차이를 보이는 치경 자음을 데이터로 하였고 음성신호의 주요한 파라미터들 - 포먼트 주파수, 피치, 스펙트로그램 등 - 을 측정하였다. 한국어 /시/와 /씨/에 대한 두 지역어의 음가를 비교하였다. 이러한 연구는 앞으로 음성 인식과 음성 합성을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문은 '스타 페르소나(star persona)' 개념 중에서 '캐릭터 배우의 인물창조'에 관한 연구다. 2020년에 이루어진 '퍼스낼리티 배우(personality actor)의 인물창조(characterization)'에 관한 후속 연구다. 국내 배우 중에서 연기 스펙트럼이 넓고 매번 각기 다른 캐릭터 구현력이 뛰어난 캐릭터 배우로서 이성민을 선정했으며, 그의 2018년도 출연작인 영화 '공작'에서의 북한 고위 관료 '리명운' 역할을 토대로 캐릭터 배우의 인물창조 방법에 관해서 논의했다. 스타니슬라브스키는 성격구축, 즉 인물창조를 배우 예술의 최고봉이라고 주장했다. 그러나 이와 같은 성격 구현은 배우들에게 각고의 노력과 헌신을 요하는 작업이다. 배우 이성민은 '리명운'이라는 역할을 연기하기 위해서 북한 사투리를 연습했고, 여기에 엘리트의 말투를 가미했다. 극적 긴장감과 상황의 사실감을 극대화하기 위해서 인물들의 감정과 대사가 중심이 되는 인물 단독 숏 안에서 시선을 고정시키며, 한 호흡으로 대사를 내뱉으면서 극의 긴장감을 고조시키는 연기 방식을 구현했다. 콘티뉴이티와 앵글 또한, 인물의 성격구축과 정서, 감정 등을 표현하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 영화 '공작'에서 캐릭터 배우의 '리명운'의 성격구축 방법을 논의해보았다.

Sakhalin, Russia is a very specific area for Korean language education. The imposed separation and isolation in this region means the language in Sakhalin is mixed with South Korean, North Korean, Gyeongsang Province dialect, Japanese, and Russian. Scrutiny of the use of the actual language of Sakhalin Koreans is needed, and it is required in supporting Korean language education. In this study, I will cover: 1. Approach should differ depending on the situation of Korean, foreigners, Korean Language School(Hangeul Hakgyo) and Korean classes in local Schools. 2. Tailor-made textbooks for Sakhalin are required. 3. Korean textbooks to match local circumstances are needed. There should be a basic writing text written by a local Korean department professor and supervision or modification, supplements from Korean language education researchers in Korea. 4. Enlarged Korean training programs are needed. Furthermore, if Korean and Russian university students are to study in Korea, there should be programs offering a dual degree among other things. 5. Methodical, overall examination of overseas Korean regions like Sakhalin is necessary. Also in the case of far east Russia, connectivity between Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Sakhalin needs to be strengthened.

This study investigates dialectal differences in the acoustic properties of Korean lenis, aspirated, and tense stops Seoul Korean (standard Korean) and Yanbian Korean (spoken in the largest Korean Autonomous Prefecture in China). This production study the main acoustic cues that each dialect uses to mark the laryngeal distinction between the three types of Korean stops. Measurements included VOT, and the initial F0 of the following vowel. Data collected from 10 young Seoul Korean speakers, 10 young Yanbian Korean speakers, and 6 older Yanbian speakers. two key findings: First, aspirated and lenis stops are mainly differentiated by F0 in Seoul Korean, and by $H1^*-H2^*$ in Yanbian Korean. Second, there is no VOT merger between lenis and aspirated stops in Yanbian Korean, whereas there is in Seoul Korean. These results are discussed in terms of the phenomenon of VOT shift and the function of F0t is argued that the function of F0 to substitute for VOT difference as a primary cue for the coding of laryngeal contrast can be predicted by the pitch accent system of the language involved.

The aim of this paper is to research phonological and morphological features in Korean Voices from Berlin. The Korean Voices from Berlin was recorded in 1917 at Berlin by 5 Korean prisoners engaged in World War I, some of them came from North Hamgyeong Province, the others came from Pyeongan Province, therefore these data show a North Korean regional dialect. The data are composed of three materials, counting numbers, reciting scriptures and singing folksongs. The results of this research are as follows. 1) The consonant system of Korean voices is similar to standard Korean. The 19 consonants are classified according to 5 manners of articulations and 5 points of articulations. 2) The liquid /l/ has three allophones, [ɾ] appeared in an onset position, [l] in a word medial coda position or preceded by [l], [ɹ] in a word final coda position. 3) The vowel system of Korean voices is similar to early 20th Korean's. It has 8 monophthongs, /a, ʌ, o, u, ɯ, i, e, ${\varepsilon}$/. 4) The 1 to 10 numbers in Korean voices are similar to Middle-Korean numerals. 5) The genitive particle '/ɯi/의' is pronounced [i], [ɯ], [${\varepsilon}$], especially [ɯ] is appeared in Sino Korean. 6) The /l/-deletion of conjugations are similar to Middle-Korean, /l/ deletion always occurred, if [+cor] consonants are followed.

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of the Korean language used as a major communication means within the Korean community in Chenguoz District of Harbin, Heirungjiang Province, China, in terms of its phonology, morphology and syntax. The study focuses on how a variety of languages and dialects including Chinese, the Standard Chinese Korean adopted as a means of teaching in Korean schools, and Kyongsang Dialect of Korean have influenced the language of the community It also deals as background information with the history of the community, the attitude of the community members toward Korean and Chinese, and their proficiencies of Korean and Chinese, to obtain the general picture of the bilingualism of this community This specific region was studied since this region and most of the Korean communities in the Heirungjiang province were formed by descendents of the immigrants from the southern provinces of the Korean Peninsula, which allows the comparison between the language used today and the language their ancestors used before moving to this area. Due to the industrialization and innovation brought about by the opening of the Chinese society, the fast outward flow of youths to urban areas, and greater assimilation threats from the embedding Chinese culture, we are not too sure if the Korean language will continue to be used in the future. Given these circumstances, we consider this research most opportune in that it provides a look into the Korean community that developed its distinctive culture and tanguage within an isolated cultural environment.
