An area that language learners struggles most is the prosody of sentences. This paper analyzes spoken data by heritage Japanese learners extracted from recordings of Oral Proficiency Interviews (OPI). In particular, we select sentences that show pro-drop features in the speech of these learners, and from the subset we analyze the prosodic features using Praat. The results are then compared with recordings produced by Japanese native speakers. Several loci of prosodic differences are identified: lexical pitch accent, post-positions, as well as global prosody. A naturalness test shows that native speakers find sentences with native-like prosodies to be more fit. We suggest that teaching materials in advanced Japanese courses consider these loci of prosodic features.

언어학습자들이 가장 어려워하는 요소 중의 하나가 문장 억양이다. 본고는 6명의 일본어 계승어 학습자의 Oral Proficiency Interviews (OPI) 인터뷰 자료를 분석한다. 구체적으로는 pro-drop 문장들만을 추출한 후 Praat을 이용해서 운율구조를 일본어 모국어 화자의 운율구조와 비교했다. 단어 엑센트, 후치사, 문장전체 등에서 운율의 차이가 나타났다. 자연성과 명료도 실험의 결과, 학습자의 억양이 모국어화자의 억양과 유사하면 자연스러운 억양으로 판단되었다. 마지막으로, 억양 실현양상이 상이한 부분을 포함한 고급 일본어 수업교재 개발이 필요하다고 제시한다.
