Kang, Seokhan. 2013. The Effect of the Background Language on L2 Suprasegmental Acquisition. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 38-1, 1-26. This study investigated how the different L1 adult groups with different levels of proficiency levels acquire the L2 suprasegmentals. Sixty-four subjects in seven groups – twenty-eight native English learners of Korean with three different leveled groups, twenty-six native Japanese learners of Korean with three different leveled groups, and ten native Korean speakers (as a control group) – took part in the experiment. After L2 subjects’ speech was assessed by ten native Korean listeners, acoustic measurement of L2 speaking was analyzed. The results show that both effects of L1 background language and L2 proficiency levels influence differently in the acquisition of the L2 suprasegmentals. More specifically, the effect of L1 background language impacts on the quality of L2 acquisition more strongly in the early stage; Japanese learners produced Korean prosody more fluently in the beginning level of the proficiency. However, L1 effect diminished in the later stage of L2 experience. The mitigation of L1 effect results from the cue asymmetry which the typological proximity triggers. (Seoul National University)
