대학생들의 어두 경음화 실현 및 인지 양상 연구

Abstract

This study discusses word-initial glottalization of modern Korean language and focuses on college students' word-initial glottalization in verbal language and indication of word-initial glottalization. For this purpose, the presentations made by 293 college students(149 male and 144 female) were recorded to examine how word-initial glottalization occurs in verbal language and 420 college students were selected for dictation to investigate how word-initial glottalization affects written language. In result, 40.6% of students showed word-initial glottalization in verbal language and the most frequently used word was ‘Jon’ pronounced as /Jjon/. Other frequently used words were ‘Jogeum(/Jjogeum/)’, ‘Dareun(/Ddareun/)’, and ‘Jakda(/Jjakda/)’. Generally, words from Sino-Korean words writing do not show glottalization, but ‘Gyesok’ also showed relatively frequent 9 tines use of glottalization. In case of written language, the most frequently used words associated with word-initial glottalization were ‘Juggumi(Jjuggumi)(90.0%)’ and ‘Gomjangeo(/Ggomjangeo/)(90.0%)’. It seems that many people believe the glottalization words are correct and write them as they as they sound. Other words that are frequently written with word-initial glottalization include ‘Sukmaek(/Ssukmaek/)(61.7%)’ and ‘Golcho(/Ggolcho/)(48.8%)’. It is generally believed that male use more glottalized words than female, but this study found that there is no difference between male and female in terms of word-initial glottalization. The significance of this study was that it understood that word-initial glottalization appears differently according to speaker and each individual word and glottalization of each word is quantitatively examined. However, it was limited to verbal language used in formal presentations and it is necessary to examine word-initial glottalization that appears in everyday conversation in more natural settings.
