“…Furthermore, Yi and Pak (1997) reported that significant differences were emerged by word frequency and phonological change rules. Song et al (2012) also, confirmed an interaction between word frequency and syllable neighbourhood size at lexical processing. It demonstrated that the word segmentation could be influenced by both prelexical and lexical processing.…”

We examined resyllabification cost in spoken word recognition in Korean and found an interaction between syllable boundary and context at the lexical level. Experiment 1 compared a misalignment condition and an alignment condition. The misalignment condition involves the word-final consonant merging with the onset of the next syllable. The alignment condition involves word-vowel match with syllable boundary. Experiment 1, in the word spotting task, showed faster and more accurate word recognition in the alignment than in the misalignment condition. Experiment 2 was conducted to investigate the effects of the syllable boundary as well as context on word recognition. Four types of target stimuli were created: target related-aligned, target related-misaligned, target neutral-aligned, and target neutral-misaligned. Experiment 2, auditory lexical decision task, showed an interaction between syllable boundary and context variables. Thus, we confirmed the syllable's role as a segmentation unit. Furthermore, the context and the syllable boundary significantly affected word recognition at the lexical level together.

“…This fact is discussed in more detail in Section 3. To our knowledge, the only published study of ND effects involving spoken Korean, Song, Nam, & Koo, (2012), investigated the effects of word frequency and ND on spoken word segmentation. This study used a syllable-based ND measure, as was done in other studies of spoken word segmentation (e.g., Cutler, Mehler, Norris, &Segui, 1986 andMehler, Dommergues, Frauenfelder, &Segui, 1981), but it renders it nevertheless incompatible with the majority of ND studies on English, which used a phoneme-based measure.…”

K-SPAN: A lexical database of Korean surface phonetic forms and phonological neighborhood density statistics

This article presents K-SPAN (Korean Surface Phonetics and Neighborhoods), a database of surface phonetic forms and several measures of phonological neighborhood density for 63,836 Korean words. Currently publicly available Korean corpora are limited by the fact that they only provide orthographic representations in Hangeul, which is problematic since phonetic forms in Korean cannot be reliably predicted from orthographic forms. We describe the method used to derive the surface phonetic forms from a publicly available orthographic corpus of Korean, and report on several statistics calculated using this database; namely, segment unigram frequencies, which are compared to previously reported results, along with segment-based and syllable-based neighborhood density statistics for three types of representation: an "orthographic" form, which is a quasi-phonological representation, a "conservative" form, which maintains all known contrasts, and a "modern" form, which represents the pronunciation of contemporary Seoul Korean. These representations are rendered in an ASCIIencoded scheme, which allows users to query the corpus without having to read Korean orthography, and permits the calculation of a wide range of phonological measures.

“…Word frequency effect refers to the observation that the more frequent the occurrence of a word, the easier it is to recognize that word. To prove the word frequency effect, Song, Nam, and Koo (2012) reported that when an experimenter heard a speech composed of high-frequency and low-frequency words mixed with noise, the experimenter recognized high-frequency words better than low-frequency words.…”

We propose a minimum learning judgment system that is appropriate for online learning environments, and we verify this minimum learning judgment system through various experiments. By focusing on the learning effort, this system can easily and quickly determine whether learners have exerted the minimum effort required for learning. To do this, the system automatically generates a word game and determines whether minimum learning has taken place through the results of the word game. To verify the minimum learning judgment system, we conducted a comparative experiment on the importance of high-frequency words, a word count verification test for word games, and a judgment criteria verification test based on the length of a video lecture. Results of the experiments show that high-frequency words can be used as a feature to determine minimum learning. The appropriate number of words in the word game for the minimum learning judgment was found to be seven, and the results showed that the video length did not affect the minimum learning criteria. In addition, the minimum learning judgment accuracy result was 82%. This is not
