One of the basic elements in learning a foreign language is the pronunciation which also makes the primary difference between the mother tongue and the foreign language. When it comes to learning a foreign language, the difference in the pronunciation is more prominent than that of the vocabulary or grammar.
Since Korean and Chinese are two different language families, it is natural that the Chinese students have difficulty in making the perfect sound when they learn Korean language. The pronunciation-errors pointed out by the comparative linguistics don't match completely with those found in the real situations, which defies the perfect regulation in classifying those errors, especially in allophone. However, the method proposed by the comparative linguistics still plays an effective role in presenting the classification and the regulated correction in advance. On the other hand, the sound analysis is faithful to its leading part in suggesting the rule excluding the all sorts of variables that could happen with individual characteristics or carelessness.
This study devises an efficient approach to predict the errors and make use of Chinese allophone inversely through the way of comparative linguistics with the data of experimental phonetics. (Daejin University)
