체언 어간말 ㅊ, ㅌ의 변이 양상 연구 -서울방언과 경상방언을 반영하는 문헌을 대상으로-

Abstract

This paper aims to understand how realizations and non-realizations of phonological rules coexist within a text, and examine what the characteristics of these phenomena are. As the study rests on the literature of the early twentieth century which reflects the Seoul dialect and the Gyeonsang dialect, it analyzes variation patterns in the declension forms of the nominal stems ending and investigates how these evidence the ongoing phonological changes. Using the Joseon-mussang-shinshik-yolijebeop written in Seoul dialect and the Yangnam-samgang-rok written in Gyeonsang dialect, we have examined on the one hand how in these two dialects the nominal stem-final ㅊ /tʃh/ and ㅌ /th/ are realized when the nouns are combined with postpositional particles that start with a vowel, and on the other, what factors drive the realization of variant forms. This study is divided into four sections. First of all, in the Seoul dialect the stem-final ㅌ /th/ is realized most of timeas ㅅ [s] in the nominative case, and as ㅌ /th/ in the accusative and locative cases. As for the stem-final ㅊ /tʃh/, it is realized as ㅅ [s] regardless of the case particle which it combines with. Second, in the Gyeongsang dialect the stem-final ㅌ /th/ is generally realized as ㅌ /th/, the rate of ㅅ [s] realizations being rather low. Similarly, the stem-final ㅊ /tʃh/ is primarily realized as ㅊ /tʃh/. Nonetheless, when combined with accusative and locative particles, it is realized as ㅌ /th/. Third, when nouns ending in ㅊ /tʃh/ and ㅌ /th/ make up compounds, where ㅊ /tʃh/ and ㅌ /th/ are being non-aphaeretic, these tend to be realized as ㅅ [s]. Realizations of phonological variations depend on the number of pages or volumes. Fourth, through the investigation of these two texts together with contemporary Seoul and Gyeongsang dialects, it appears that nominal stem-final ㅊ /tʃh/ and ㅌ /th/ are still undergoing phonological changes.
