Abstract

On the premise that “the image that speech sound brings” means “phonic phase,” this study analyzes and considers the characteristics of phonic phase of Japanese and Korean people names.Japanese names are based on “Tamahiyo Popular Readings Ranking”between the years 2005 through 2015 based on 36 male and 38 female with different names. Consequently, with vowels, [e][o] were portrayed in male names while [a][i] were in female names, and syllable-wise, male names had [o] both in the beginning and ending while it was mostly [i][a] for female. With consonants, plosive sound /t/ were found in male names while nasal sound [n][m] were found in female names, and syllable-wise, /t/ in the beginning and ending of the name were found in male while beginning [m] and ending [n] names were found in female names. On the other hand, Korean names are based on “Top Favorable Children Names” between the years 2008 through 2015 based on 30 male and 31 female names. As a result, with vowels(Jungsung), monophthong [u] was portrayed in male names while diphthong [ju] was in female names, and syllable-wise, both 1st and 2nd syllable had [u] for male while 1st was [a][je] and 2nd [ju] for female names. Also, with consonant(Chosung), fricative sound [h] and affricate sound [c] were found in male while zero consonant /Ø/ was found in female names, and syllable-wise, [c][t] in the 1st syllable and [h][c] in the 2nd syllable were found in male, while /Ø/ in both 1st and 2nd syllable was found in female names. Moreover, with consonant(Jongsung), [ŋ] was found in male, and /Ø/ was found in female, and syllable-wise, male had [ŋ] in the 1st and /Ø/ in the 2nd syllable while vice versa for female.
