초록

The notion of contrast, which can be defined as the opposition between distinctive sounds, has been a central concept in Korean historical phonology. However, no consensus has yet been reached as to how to compute contrast in phonology, which in turn has made it difficult to reconstruct the phonological vowel system of Middle Korean in a widely acceptable manner. With this background, this paper aims two purposes. First, it aims to introduce the theory of contrastive hierarchy (Dresher 2009) which holds that only contrastive, not redundant, features are computed in the phonological component and the contrastive specifications are determined by language-specific feature hierarchies. Second, adopting this particular theory of contrast, it attempts to provide new accounts of the Middle Korean vowel system and its development into the Modern Korean vowel system. In particular, the Middle Korean vowel system is analyzed as an [RTR]-based two-height vowel system with the feature hierarchy [coronal] > [low] > [labial] > [RTR] whereas the Modern Korean vowel system as a [labial]-based three-height vowel system with a new feature hierarchy [coronal] > [low] > [high] > [labial]. This contrastivist account sheds illuminating light on various issues in Korean vowel phonology from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives.

Abstract

The notion of contrast, which can be defined as the opposition between distinctive sounds, has been a central concept in Korean historical phonology. However, no consensus has yet been reached as to how to compute contrast in phonology, which in turn has made it difficult to reconstruct the phonological vowel system of Middle Korean in a widely acceptable manner. With this background, this paper aims two purposes. First, it aims to introduce the theory of contrastive hierarchy (Dresher 2009) which holds that only contrastive, not redundant, features are computed in the phonological component and the contrastive specifications are determined by language-specific feature hierarchies. Second, adopting this particular theory of contrast, it attempts to provide new accounts of the Middle Korean vowel system and its development into the Modern Korean vowel system. In particular, the Middle Korean vowel system is analyzed as an [RTR]-based two-height vowel system with the feature hierarchy [coronal] > [low] > [labial] > [RTR] whereas the Modern Korean vowel system as a [labial]-based three-height vowel system with a new feature hierarchy [coronal] > [low] > [high] > [labial]. This contrastivist account sheds illuminating light on various issues in Korean vowel phonology from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives.
