Perceptual Categorization of the sokuon/Q/by Korean Japanese Learners -- The relations between [Vowel Duration] and [P-Center] --

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper reports research investigating the perception of Japanese geminate (/sokuon/)/ singleton stops by both Korean learners of the language and native speakers by acoustic analysis. Based on this, three questions were examined: 1) What influence, if any, does the length of the vowel prior to the geminate/ singleton stop have on the perceptual boundaries of Japanese native speakers and learners? 2) When the length of the prior vowel is shortened, in what way does this influence the perceptual boundaries? 3) Are the perceptual boundaries influenced differently if the geminate/ singleton stop is at the word level or the
sentence level (the context)?
The results of this study demonstrated that there was a difference in the perception of geminate/singleton perceptual boundaries between Japanese native speakers and Korean learners. In particular, there was a
compensation effect observed in the perceptual boundaries when the prior vowel was shortened.
Furthermore, it was determined that this compensation effect was influenced by the type of vowel, and the first language of the participants, however, the greatest influence was the context.
