Perception and production of a segment in a foreign or second language have been one of the major issues in the fields of phonetics and phonology. Traditional analyses made so far, however, have exclusively focused on either perception or on production solely and seldom on the relationship between the two. Also, those studies have heavily dealt with individual segments in isolation, hardly touching on those appearing in an environment that the Korean language does not allow. The aim of this dissertation is to explore patterns of lateral perception and production by Korean learners of English and elucidate the relationship between perception and production in the process of lateral acquisition. To this end, we employ 1320 production and 600 perception data from 30 Korean learners of English and three native speakers of English. The production data are divided into nine types depending on their phonological, phonetic, morphological and even spelling properties, and perception data by three different syllable structures. Based on the results, this research explores whether well-known factors such as proficiency and phonological/morphological environment play a role in producing and perceiving laterals, and further, how factors are correlated. Finally, it reveals the relationships between perception and production when Koreans learn English laterals in various environments that are nonexistent in Korean. ，韩语论文，韩语论文范文 |
