English stress is realized by suprasegmental features such as duration, pitch, and intensity as well as by vowel quality. It has been known that native speakers of English are more attentive to vowel reduction than to suprasegmental cues because it offers considerable processing advantages (Fear et al. 1995, Cutler 2015). However, it has been shown that this is challenging for L2 learners of English, who depend on suprasegmental features in their production (Hammond 1986, Lee et al. 2006). Assuming that this difficulty is ascribed to their misperception, we examined how Korean listeners perceive English stress by modulating vowels at the segmental and the suprasegmental levels. Consistent with previous studies (Chung 2016a, 2016b, Kang & Kim 2016), Korean listeners relied heavily on pitch, but were also sensitive to vowel reduction, whose effect was stronger in the high proficiency group. For English native listeners, vowel reduction was the most reliable cue, but those who have been exposed to Korean accents for long time did not exploit vowel reduction for stress placement. The results suggest that phonetic/phonological patterns at the segmental level are more easily acquired than those at the suprasegmental level (Saito 2018).
