Research Abstract |
In order to understand the interaction between auditory-acoustic phonetic facts and the phonological structure, the present study carried out cross-linguistic comparisons of various phonetic similarities among selected phonological units (segments, syllables, and features), by using a wide range of sample languages. The new findings concerning auditory-acoustic phonetic similarities and differences were analyzed and interpreted from two perspectives, i.e. that of articulatory features and that of the phonological structures of the relevant languages, and they were further examined in terms of their phonological importance.In the course of the investigation, this study discovered new keys to explore the theoretical issue of the position (or status) of auditory-acoustic properties in the framework of phonological (distinctive) feature theory. In addition, by employing the new findings, this study developed an applied phonetic discussion about how to deal with errors, mistakes and difficulties in L2 phonetics and phonology.
