Forum: Comparative phonetics



what is it? according to what you think? It is the (comparative) study (in the 

structure/mode/way of phonetics, pronunciation, articulation, or whatever; that is, in the 

difference of speaking mouth postures and resultant speaking weight/force center points) 

between the mother language and foreign languages, for better (more practical/

effective/smooth) hearing/speaking of foreign language. 



I found that people cannot hear a foreign language (properly), if he does not have 

experience in articulating/mimicking the foreign language in (good) speaking posture of 

foreign language. Originally, I am not a phonetician. As a general but 

sincere (long-time) English learner, I have been just studying/wondering continuously 

why I (and other Koreans, and maybe Japanese?) have (the greater) difficulty of hearing 

English, German, etc., and at last I have found the (big) difference of speaking posture 

(and the resultant weight/force center position) between Korean and English. 



As you know, the (basic/primary) postures are different for wrestling, boxing, dancing, 

etc. respectively, each other (one another); and accordingly, the places/positions (in the 

body) of weight/force center points, resulted from each posture of wrestling, boxing, 

dancing, etc., also are different significantly or slightly, according to the compared items. 

I found that English (German/French/Chinese etc.) speaking (mouth) posture is different 

from Korean (and Japanese) speaking posture each other; and accordingly, two basic 

weight centers of English speaking posture are formed in the (air of ) mouth, and two 

basic centers of Korean speaking posture are positioned in vocal cords and some place of 

trachea; and accordingly, the two speaking (phonetic) sounds (voice characteristics) of 

the two (English/Korean, Japanese?) languages are completely different from each other; 

and Americans, who are excellent in placing (two) speaking center points in the air (of the 

mouth), can (eugenically?) easily shift them on the trachea in order to pronounce (mimic) 

Korean language, (even) without special training, but most Koreans cannot easily 

recognize the necessity/possibility of changing the speaking center positions to the air (of 

the mouth) from trachea, in order to speak English, without particular practice/

training/effort (such as in grammar learning.) 



I want to hear your opinions/comments about "comparative phonetics (between 

languages.) Also, I want to let the whole world (that is, Koreans, Japanese, 

English/German/French - - - language institute lecturers, who teach English/German - - - 

to Koreans/Japanese) know the above fact/theory, and could you help me in this biz? 

I wrote a book on this theme in Korean language, and want some people to help me to 

translate my book(discovery) to let the world understand the afore-mentioned fact. 

If speaking postures are significantly different between English and Korean, there will be 

also great difference between (theoretic) phonetic structures. And you will find how 

important it is to know speaking posture of your own language, in describing the 

pronunciation/articulation of your own language. Also you will find that the 

phonetics is the (still) unexplored field of research. But, it is not easy for me to
