초록

The aim of this study is to specifically offer the acoustic cues of English /l/ by analyzing English /l/ production. To see the acoustic property of English /l/, we measured F2(the second formant) and F3(the third formant) of the stimuli produced by 4 English native female speakers and 16 Korean female English learners who were divided into two groups(high level and low level) according to their English proficiency. The result of this study revealed that first, there were no significant differences according to the environment in any of the speakers. Second, There was a difference in English /l/ acquisition according to the level of the English learners. F2 and F3 of English /l/ pronounced by Korean high level English learners(KH) were not statistically different from those of English native speakers(NS). However, F2 and F3 of English /l/ of Korean low level English learners(KL) were significantly different from NS and KH. Third, There was a significant difference between the speakers at F2 in clear [l] and at F3 in dark [ɫ]. As for clear [l] spoken by KL, F3 was a lot lower than that of other groups and also F2 of dark [ɫ] is much higher than others. As a result, this study is meaningful in that it provides specific acoustic cues for the English /l/ errors produced by Korean English learners in the previous studies.
