AB - This paper reported the declination slopes of English intonation of Korean learners of English in both declarative and interrogative sentences, comparing them with those of native English speakers. Twenty native English speakers and Korean learners of English in a university took part in the experiments. The findings were that Korean learners of English showed a slower declination tilt in declarative sentences: a narrower range in fundamental frequency, slower speech rate, and shorter duration and higher F0in the final syllable. In the interrogative sentences, they showed a positive declination tilt: a higher pitch level in the initial segment than in the final segment. On the contrary,native English speakers showed steeper declination tilt in declarative sentences: a wider range in fundamental frequency, faster speech rate, and longer duration and lower F0 in the final syllable. In case of interrogative sentences, they showed a negative declination slope: a higher pitch level in the final segment than in the initial segment. This incorrect production of intonation by Korean learners of English might lead to foreign-accent to some degree.
