Chung, Young Hee. 2016. Effects of Pitch on the Perception of English Stress by Japanese Speakers. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 41-2, 341-358. Effects of pitch on the perception of English stress by Japanese speakers were investigated in this paper. For the purpose, an English stress perception experiment was conducted on Japanese speakers. The results of the experiment showed that Japanese speakers had little difficulty identifying stress if the stressed syllable had higher pitch than the unstressed one, whereas they had a lot of difficulty if the stressed syllable had lower pitch than the unstressed one. The Japanese speakers’dependency on pitch in stress perception is argued to be due to the effects of the prosodic system of the Japanese language, which uses pitch at the lexical level. Next, Japanese speakers were compared to Seoul Korean, North Kyungsang Korean and Chinese speakers in English stress perception. Japanese speakers did not show signigicant difference from Chinese speakers in pitch dependency. However, they depended less on pitch than North Kyunsgang Korean speakers, while depended more on pitch than Seoul Korean speakers. (Sejong University)
