This study has investigated the characteristics shown in Japanese articulation focusing on its intensity, height and length including the paralinguistic Information of Korean Japanese learners by orally dividing it into a beginning and end. As a method, Korean language and Japanese sentence having the intention of ‘admiration’, ‘disappointment’, ‘indifference’, ‘doubt’ and ‘neutral’ was made to be articulated by the native speaker to investigate the characteristics of oral beginning and end, and verified whether the influence was caused to the Japanese language spoken by the Korean Japanese learners. As a result, for intensity, for both oral beginning and end, the learners spoke more strongly than the native Japanese people and for expressing intention, it was thought to reflect the characteristics of Korean which uses intensity control. But, the difference in intensity between intentions against Korean did not show significantly. For height, oral beginning was shown to be pronounced higher. This seems to be caused by the Japanese accent rather than Korean, and in the case of ‘admiration’, the fact it was lower than the intention having a different ratio of high pronunciation at the oral beginning, it can be seemed to reflect the influence of Korean language which speak high for the oral end. For length, both the oral beginning and the end were shown longer than the Korean language and the native Japanese language. This, unlike Korean language which controls the length of the oral beginning per intention, the tendency of Japanese language which controls the length of the oral end was reflected in the articulation of Japanese language by Korean learners.
