초록
This paper investigates the nature of the complementary distribution of Korean fricative acoustically. In this study, the fricatives preceding five different vowels [i, e, a, o, u] are compared in different speech rates – fast and slow – and in different positions in time domain – mid point and ending point. The study measures the spectral peak frequencies of the fricatives. The results seem to support the former idea, which is rather categorical than gradient and to imply Korean allophone [S] is by palatalization assimilation, which is a phonological process.

The study measures the spectral peak frequencies of the fricatives.
