초록

A second occurrence focus (hereafter, SOF) is the phenomenon in which the focused constituent associated with a focus sensitive operator is repeated and becomes the given information. A production experiment was carried out to demonstrate how both prenuclear and postnuclear SOF in the utterance-medial position are prosodically realized by native speakers of English and to find out whether advanced Korean learners of English are aware of the conflicting informational structure of SOF and properly produce SOF constituents. In our results, second occurrence focused constituents have longer duration and greater intensity than non-focused constituents, and concerning pitch accents, it is hard to say that second occurrence focus does not have pitch accents. Since second occurrence focus has the conflicting contexts, Korean learners of English show incoherence in phonetic cues in production of SOF.
