ABSTRACT

This paper overviews recent research trends in Japanese phonetics and phonological studies by analyzing 62 research papers that were published in 18 academic journals registered in Korea from 2021 to 2022. A total of 62 papers were classified into “phonetic education,” “phonological studies,” and “comparative studies.” In addition, “phonetic education” was subcategorized into “research of segment ,” “prosody,” “learning strategies and teaching methods,” “notation,” “textbook analysis,” and “other” and their research achievements were introduced. The research trend in this field showed a decrease in the proportion of studies on Japanese phonetic education compared to the past (44.7% > 34.9%). It is noteworthy that research on phonological studies for Sino-Japanese (23.8%) have a high proportion in Japanese phonetics and phonological studies. Recently, various electronic language data have been utilized, and the processing and analysis of electronic data using AI is expected in the future.
