Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of syllables on speech perception in Korean language. In Experiment 1 using syllable monitoring task, it was found that subjects detected CVC targets from CVC-CVC words more easily than CV targets while the response times for CV and CVC targets from CV-CVC or CVC-CV words did show very small difference. Experiment 2 was conducted to investigate the speech segmentation of irregular words. The types of irregular words used were syllable adjustment, apiration, nasalization, and liquidization. The results showed that monitoring times for irregular words was of the same pattern as those for regular words except in the condition of liquidization. It was suggested that deep syllables, or morphological syllables, can be used in speech segmentation and that speech segmentation processes in Korean language has many features that other languages do not have.
