초록

The purpose of this study is twofold: (a) to account for some counterexamples of Davis and Shin’s (1999) analysis of l-nasalization and n-lateralization; (b) to explore how Optimality Theory can deal with Initial Sound Law in Korean. Davis and Shin (1999) account for l-nasalization and n-lateralization by using phonologically-motivated syllable contact constraint, which means avoidance of rising sonority over a syllable boundary, and other constraints. However, they do not account for some counterexamples, as illustrated in /cinlyo/ [cillyo] ‘medical examination’ and /waŋcinlyo/ [waŋcinnyo], ‘fee for a doctor’s visit,’ in which the former is related to n-lateralization and the latter is related to l-nasalization in spite of their same environment of the sequence -nl-. We propose the constraint MAX[nas]]+ in order to account for them. In addition, we account for Initial Sound Law by using some phonetically/phonologically-motivated constraints—*[w Lateral and *[w[+son, +cor, -high][+son, +cor, +high].
