This study explores the use of tone in the speech of speakers who were born in North Kyungsang and moved to Seoul after the age of 20 and that of speakers who were born in Seoul and moved to North Kyungsang as an adult. Specifically, this study examines whether mobile speakers produce North Kyungsang Korean tones in any of the three contexts: Reading passage, word list, and minimal pair. Moreover, this study investigates whether extralinguistic factors such as gender, length of stay in a new region, and attitude towards the first dialect and second dialect affect the acquisition of the new dialect feature. The results show that the majority of speakers from North Kyungsang show evidence of having acquired the Seoul Korean accent pattern in all of the three tasks, while none of the speakers from Seoul shows evidence of having acquired North Kyungsang Korean tones in any contexts.
