characteristics of word-final English /ɹ/ produced by Korean learners of
American English. Studies in Phonetics,

Most studies on the articulatory
characteristics of English /ɹ/ have been conducted with native speakers of
English, and few studies have been conducted with L2 learners of English. This
study examines the articulatory characteristics of word-final English /ɹ/
produced by Korean learners of American English (AE) using novel 3D/4D
ultrasound imaging methods. 10 female Korean learners of AE participated in
this study, and the tongue shapes of their English /ɹ/ were observed using
3D/4D ultrasound technology. The results of this study show that, unlike native
speakers of AE, the Korean learners of AE exhibited more retroflex tongue
shapes than bunched tongue shapes, and this seems to be related to the
articulatory characteristics of Korean [l] and the pronunciation training they
received. In addition, the results of this study revealed great inter-speaker
variation with regard to the articulation of English /ɹ/. Even though the
majority of participants in this study showed retroflex articulation, the place
of articulation and tongue shape varied greatly across speakers. (Jeonju
