AB - This study examines the intonational differences between Busan dialect speakers residing in Busan and those who have migrated to Seoul through experimental phonetic analysis, focusing on how intonation is realized across sentence types in dialect contact situations. To this end, experiments were conducted using two types of sentences: those containing Busan dialect vocabulary and those using standard vocabulary with dialectal lexical items excluded, and the intonational patterns between the two speaker groups were compared. The results showed that sentences containing Busan dialect vocabulary did not reveal significant differences in intonation according to migration status. By contrast, sentences using standard vocabulary exhibited noticeable differences in certain sentence types. In particular, speakers with longer residence in Seoul showed intonation patterns different from those of speakers residing in Busan in two specific sentence types: wh-questions and yes/no questions. This pattern can be interpreted as reflecting linguistic contact with speakers in the Seoul metropolitan area. This study is limited in that it focused on a specific age and gender group. Further research, including speakers of diverse age groups and backgrounds, is required.
