Abstract
Korean occasionally speaks the first and second moras in same pitch in their Japanese speech. Therefore, this study is analysis of spoken datum by Korean who studies Japanese and investigates if the environment of initial vowel or consonant affects the pitch pattern. As a result, it is found when the initial environment is vowel and nasal consonant, the pitch pattern of initial two moras tends to be Low-High. While the initial environment is voiceless fricative and voiceless plosive, the pitch pattern tends to be High-High. In this paper, I report about details of the result.
