ABSTRACT

Chinese language and Korean language are considered to be two disparate linguistics under morphological classification. Their distinct characteristics can be found in use of vocabularies; monosyllabic words for Chinese and polysyllabic words for Korean. Therefore, this article aims to present correcting and learning methods for accurate pronunciation of Chinese finals by marking appropriate phonetic transcription as Chinese language require more prolonged accents than Korean language(which is abbreviated into a syllable). First, single vowels such as /a, i, u/ are marked in this article as ‘아아’, ‘이이’, ‘우우’ to emphasize prolonged accents. Explanation of both Chinese and Korean phoneme systems are provided in the text to help overcome pronouncing single vowels like /ü/, /o/, /e/, which Korean people often find challenging to pronounce. Second, compound finals and nasal finals are written in trisyllables like /아아이/(/ai/) and /아아안/(/an/) to emphasize its prolonged sound, longer than previous monosyllables or disyllables. Third, in order to overcome difficulties in pronouncing medial, combined finals connected with /i/, /u/, /ü/ medials are classified into three sets of combination; medial with single vowel, medial with diphthong, and medial with nasal vowel. The article's attempt will give more accurate phonetic transcription method for Chinese pronunciation than previous ones, as well as improving pronunciation among Koreans which is often impeded by their mother tongue.
