本研究以20名早期和晚期韩英双语者为被试,探讨了习得年龄和母语韵律对英语重音模式习得的影响。研究了基于音节结构的重音分布模式、基于词类的重音分布模式以及音系相似词的重音分布模式对英语非词重音分布的影响。双语组和母语英语对照组一样,都表现出从语音相似的真实的单词延伸的重音模式。早期双语者的音节结构效应与本族语者略有不同,晚期双语者的音节结构效应降低。与以前的工作与西班牙语-英语双语者,韩国-英语双语者表现出nonnativelike效果的词汇类,最明显的是在后期的双语者。这种差异可能是由于韩国人的敏感性低字级的统计分布,因为早期接触短语级的韵律系统。
The effects of age of acquisition and native language prosody on the acquisition of English stress patterns were investigated with early and late Korean-English bilinguals (n = 20). Distributional patterns of stress placement based on syllabic structure, distributional patterns of stress placement based on lexical class, and stress patterns of phonologically similar words were investigated for their effect on the placement of stress in English nonwords. Both bilingual groups-like the native English controls-showed extension of stress patterns from phonologically similar real words. The effect of syllabic structure for early bilinguals was slightly different from that of native speakers, and late bilinguals showed more reduced effects. Unlike previous work with Spanish-English bilinguals, Korean-English bilinguals demonstrated a nonnativelike effect of lexical class, most pronounced in the late bilinguals. This difference might be due to Koreans' low sensitivity to word-level statistical distributions because of early exposure to a phrase-level prosodic system.
