ABSTRACT

Current Trends and Prospects of Studies on Japanese Phonetics and Phonology This study outlines the phonetic and phonological studies published in 18 journals in South Korea from 2017 to 2018, and discusses their characteristics, prospects and challenges. The number of phonetic and phonological studies published in this period is 34, which is less than a half of the total of 73 studies published between 2015 and 2016. Among the 34 studies, 20 studies were about phonetic education, accounting for more than a half of the total. This indicates that the importance of phonetic education has increased. Furthermore, studies of new perspectives have also appeared, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. Important future tasks include cultivating researchers, creating a large phonetic database of Korean learners, and building a new syllabus of phonetic education to utilize the research results in phonetic education.
