| Summary: | The study provides linguistic data and sociocultural interpretation of distinctive phonetic features found in comparative analysis of two East-Asian languages through the prism of accented Korean English and Mandarin Chinese English. Starting with vowels, consonants and phonotactics which are well accounted for in linguistic and pedagogical literature, the present authors focus on their own research in the prosody of the English varieties selected for identification: the Korean English and the Mandarin Chinese English. Distinctive prosodic features are found in the temporal characteristics, rhythm and pitch patterns of boundary tones. The results may be practically applied in teaching the two distinctive languages as L3 to Russian-speaking learners who first acquired English as their L2. |
