In this research, we used empirical methods to study the pitch accent realization in Korean spoken by native Japanese speakers, as Japanese shares phonetic similarities with Korean. We selected Sino-Korean words that had similar meanings and pronunciation in both Korean and Japanese according to their numbers of syllables, their syllables, and their phonemes. We then conducted an experiment where we divided the selected words into word unit speech and sentence unit speech, and analyzed the results using Praat. In the study, we aimed to determine the causes of foreign- and awkward-sounding speech in the suprasegmental factors of pitch accent realization aspects to provide objective basic materials for native speakers of Japanese, a pitch accent language, that can help improve their communication skills. The results showed that in the case of the word unit speech, the errors were caused by a different pitch accent average value, while in the case of the sentence unit speech, the errors were caused by different pitch accent patterns than those of native Korean speakers. We confirmed that the word unit and the sentence unit speech environment-dependent pitch accent patterns in Korean were negative factors for Japanese Korean learners, as Japanese uses fixed pitch patterns. In addition, the difference in the average pitch accent values was also confirmed to be a negative factor for these learners. (Keimyung University)
