1. Some syllables not consistently identifiable to the native Korean judges were presented to the English listeners but not included in the analysis. Syllables with initial /l/ and /ji/ were included in the presentation for other purposes but were not included in the analysis as these do not occur in Korean. Ratings ranged from 1 to 5 (highest) with the mode being 5. Tokens (3) rated 1 by one judge were rated at least 3 by other judges. The judge who gave lower ratings stated that some syllables sounded less educated and more “countrified,” although identifiable.
2. One listener failed to label one token. One listener failed to rate one token.
