Jang, Hayeun. 2020. Segmental factors in variations of Korean vowel harmony: A corpus approach. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 45-3, 651-669. This paper investigates the effects of segmental factors in variations of Korean vowel harmony: the number and quality of stem-final consonants and the class of fixed suffix vowels that follow the alternating suffix-initial vowels. Since the motivation of the vowel harmony rule is opaque in Present-Day Korean, this study hypothesizes that speakers of Present Day Korean use vowel-to-vowel coarticulatory cues in the application of the rule. By examining conjugation forms of /a/-final predicate stems in a spontaneous speech corpus of the Seoul dialect (collected by the National Institute of Korean Language in 1997), this paper shows the statistically significant counting and quality effect of stem-final consonants in variations of Korean vowel harmony. Stems closed by two coda consonants show a higher proportion of disharmonic forms than stems ending with a coda or a complex coda involving [h]. Stems having an obstruent coda in the final syllable cooccur with disharmonic forms more frequently than stems with a sonorant or a sonorant+[h] coda do. The result of corpus analysis also shows the effect of fixed suffix vowel: when a fixed suffix vowel following an alternating suffix-initial vowel has a different class from the stem-final vowel (e.g., /a/-final stem vs. [ə]-class fixed suffix vowel), disharmonic forms occur more frequently. Those segmental effects imply that speakers of the Present Day Korean use coarticulatory cues between two vowels in the application of the unnatural vowel harmony rule. (Seoul National University)
Abstract
Jang, Hayeun. 2020. Segmental factors in variations of Korean vowel harmony: A corpus approach. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 45-3, 651-669. This paper investigates the effects of segmental factors in variations of Korean vowel harmony: the number and quality of stem-final consonants and the class of fixed suffix vowels that follow the alternating suffix-initial vowels. Since the motivation of the vowel harmony rule is opaque in Present-Day Korean, this study hypothesizes that speakers of Present Day Korean use vowel-to-vowel coarticulatory cues in the application of the rule. By examining conjugation forms of /a/-final predicate stems in a spontaneous speech corpus of the Seoul dialect (collected by the National Institute of Korean Language in 1997), this paper shows the statistically significant counting and quality effect of stem-final consonants in variations of Korean vowel harmony. Stems closed by two coda consonants show a higher proportion of disharmonic forms than stems ending with a coda or a complex coda involving [h]. Stems having an obstruent coda in the final syllable cooccur with disharmonic forms more frequently than stems with a sonorant or a sonorant+[h] coda do. The result of corpus analysis also shows the effect of fixed suffix vowel: when a fixed suffix vowel following an alternating suffix-initial vowel has a different class from the stem-final vowel (e.g., /a/-final stem vs. [ə]-class fixed suffix vowel), disharmonic forms occur more frequently. Those segmental effects imply that speakers of the Present Day Korean use coarticulatory cues between two vowels in the application of the unnatural vowel harmony rule. (Seoul National University)
