Abstract

This study investigates the acquisition of three-way
stop contrast (lenis, aspirated, fortis) in Korean and
phonetic modulation of the phonological contrast
driven by information structure. VOT and F0 of the
stops produced by children (4-5, 7-8, 10-11 year-olds)
and adults in broad, narrow, and contrastive focus
conditions were measured. Results indicated that only
the 7-8 year-olds showed the three-way distinction
using VOT under (phonemic) contrastive focus, while
the other two children groups and adults did not. As
for F0, adults made a three-way distinction using F0
in all focus conditions, while the 7-8 and the 10-11
year-olds did so only under limited focus conditions.
The 4-5 year-olds did not show the three-way
distinction in any focus condition. The results suggest
that children build up their phonological awareness
and fine-tune phonetic realization in their
developmental pathway in conjunction with different
functions of information structure
