“…This is in line with the results reported by Holliday [30], who used one-syllable sounds. The perceptual difference shown in the present study between the Korean and Japanese listeners is generally consistent with the differences in the orthographic mapping, namely, Japanese voiced stops are usually written as lenis stops in Korean [45] while Korean lenis stops are written as voiceless stops in Japanese [46].…”

When distinguishing stop consonants, Korean listeners use the fundamental frequency of the following vowel (F0) as well as the voice onset time (VOT). However, it is unclear whether the F0 and VOT of natural speech sounds play an effective role in hearing nonnative stops. In the present study, we examined whether Korean listeners perceive Japanese voiced stops, rather than Japanese voiceless stops, as being similar to Korean lenis stops depending on F0 and VOT. Native Korean listeners matched a speech sound starting with either a Japanese voiced or voiceless stop to a target. The targets were meaningful visual words starting with a lenis stop in Experiment 1 and meaningless speech sounds starting with a lenis stop in Experiment 2. Native Japanese listeners, who primarily use VOT for stop distinction, also participated in Experiment 2. The results revealed that the extent to which Korean listeners chose voiced stops was influenced consistently by F0, and the pattern of results differed between Korean and Japanese listeners. These findings suggest that even when hearing natural speech sounds, Korean listeners use F0 when judging the similarity between lenis and nonnative stops.

“…With a handful of exceptions, they either have antepenultimate accent or are unaccented (e.g., Júnko , Náoki , Haruo , Mamoru ; see Tanaka & Kubozono, 1999, pp. 65–67; Shinohara, 2000, p. 72; Tanaka & Sugawara, 2018). Furthermore, while most three‐mora common nouns are unaccented (about 71%; Kubozono, 2006, 2008), proper names are more often accented, following the so‐called default antepenultimate rule (McCawley, 1968; see Kawahara, 2015; Kubozono, 2008 for overviews).…”

Linguistic research on proper names has mostly focused on their semantic and syntactic aspects, with relatively little attention being paid to their phonology. This article provides an exploratory overview of issues surrounding the sound patterns of proper names. Some studies argue that names in general tend to resist alternations due to name‐specific faithfulness, and that complex names can behave like simplex words due to a lack of compositionality, while others point to data that may challenge those views. There is also a body of work that examines the sounds of names in the context of cognitive psychology. By reviewing the relevant literature, this article aims to pave the way for further research in name phonology.
