SUMMARY: The purpose of this paper is to examine the acoustic
features of word-medial intervocalic stops (aspirated, lenis, and
fortis consonants) of Seoul Korean. Seventy-three native speakers
born between 1953 and 1999 (aged from 15 to 61 at the time of
recording) read VCV words, and the data collected were analyzed in
terms of voice onset time (VOT), closure duration of stop
consonants (CD), total duration (TD), preceding vowel duration
(PVD), fundamental frequency (F0) of post-stop vowels. The main
findings are as follows. (1) Each acoustic feature alone cannot
differentiate the three stops. (2) The effect of VOT, CD, and TD
are positive, and the combination of VOT and CD or of VOT and TD
can be the cue for differentiating the three stops. (3) The effects
F0 of post-stop vowels and PVD are negative. (4) While it is the
case that the younger the speaker is, the longer the VOT for lenis
stops in word-initial position is, no such VOT changes across
generations were confirmed in intervocalic position.
Key words: Seoul Korean, intervocalic stops, VOT, closure duration,
total duration, two-dimensional space
