Abstract:
This study investigated the acoustic cue weighting of the Korean stop contrast in the perception and production of speakers who moved from a nonstandard dialect region to the standard dialect region, Seoul. Through comparing these mobile speakers with data from nonmobile speakers in Seoul and their home region, it was found that the speakers shifted their cue weighting in perception and production to some degree, but also retained some subphonemic features of their home dialect in production. The implications of these results for the role of dialect prestige and awareness in second dialect acquisition are discussed.
