Ladefoged and Maddieson (1996) separate /l/ sounds and /r/ sounds as laterals and rhotics respectively. They claim that traditionally English /l/ and /r/ phonemes have been grouped together as 'liquids' because they share certain phonetic and phonological characteristics. Phonetically liquids often form a special class in the phonetics of a language, for instance, segments of this class are often those with the greatest freedom to occur in consonant clusters. Furthermore, quite a few languages have a single underlying liquid phoneme which varies between a lateral and a rhotic pronunciation. Ladefoged and Maddieson (1996) describe laterals as sounds in which the tongue contacts the palate in such a way as to narrow its profile from side to side so that a greater volume of air flows around one or both sides than over the centre of the tongue. And they describe the core membership of the class of rhotics as formed by segments in which there is a single or repeated brief contact between the tongue and a point on the upper surface of the vocal tract, i.e. principally apical trills, taps and flaps. Linguists therefore use different ways of classifying /l/ and /r/ phonemes. In this paper, possible problems that Japanese learners of English encounter when learning English as their second language. It has been widely known that Japanese learners find it most difficult to acquire English /l/ and /r/. This paper will investigate the issues from the point of phonology and phonetics.
