초록
The mastery of English consonant sequences that are not attested in their native language is one of the obstacles for native Korean speakers learning English as a foreign language. In order to adjust the phonotactics of the Korean syllable structure, Korean speakers epenthesize a vowel in English consonant sequences when they encounter unfamiliar consonant sequences. This paper has reanalyzed vowel epenthesis for English consonant sequences and proposed that there are actually three types of vowel epenthesis in English consonant sequences: [u]-epenthesis after a bilabial, []-epenthesis after an alveolar or a velar, and [i]-epenthesis after a palatal. Furthermore, within the framework of Correspondence Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993; McCarthy and Prince 1993, 1994, 1995), this paper has also shown that the native language ranking is transferred into the interlanguage. Given this view, the early stage of language learning is characterized by ranking the relevant markedness transferred from Korean―*Complex, CodaCondition―over particular faithfulness constraints. Additionally, some constraints which are not visible in Korean phonology― BE-Identity-F, Copy-Left, BE-Adjacency, Max-σbimoraic(μ), and Depr-Onset―emerge and are ranked highly. Fully developed systems with few phonological alternations, on the other hand, tend toward the reverse ranking. This assumption is obtained by the incremental demotion of markedness constraints as proposed by Tesar and Smolensky (1993, 2000), and Boersma and Hayes (2001).
Abstract
The mastery of English consonant sequences that are not attested in their native language is one of the obstacles for native Korean speakers learning English as a foreign language. In order to adjust the phonotactics of the Korean syllable structure, Korean speakers epenthesize a vowel in English consonant sequences when they encounter unfamiliar consonant sequences. This paper has reanalyzed vowel epenthesis for English consonant sequences and proposed that there are actually three types of vowel epenthesis in English consonant sequences: [u]-epenthesis after a bilabial, []-epenthesis after an alveolar or a velar, and [i]-epenthesis after a palatal. Furthermore, within the framework of Correspondence Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993; McCarthy and Prince 1993, 1994, 1995), this paper has also shown that the native language ranking is transferred into the interlanguage. Given this view, the early stage of language learning is characterized by ranking the relevant markedness transferred from Korean―*Complex, CodaCondition―over particular faithfulness constraints. Additionally, some constraints which are not visible in Korean phonology― BE-Identity-F, Copy-Left, BE-Adjacency, Max-σbimoraic(μ), and Depr-Onset―emerge and are ranked highly. Fully developed systems with few phonological alternations, on the other hand, tend toward the reverse ranking. This assumption is obtained by the incremental demotion of markedness constraints as proposed by Tesar and Smolensky (1993, 2000), and Boersma and Hayes (2001).
