초록
The goal of this paper is to investigate some aspects of /h/-deletion in Korean within the framework of Optimality Theory. Although many studies have been conducted regarding /h/-deletion in Korean phonology, some problems have not been satisfactorily solved until now. In particular, /h/ can be optionally deleted intervocalically in h-regular stems, while /h/ must be deleted obligatorily in h-irregular stems. For instance, only [noramyən], rather than *[norahɨmyən] is a possible form irrespective of any speech rate; however in case of h-regular stems, three forms such as [cohɨmyən], [coɨmyən], and [co:myən] can be attested depending on the speech rate. In order to account for two different asymmetries, we approach the analysis for /h/-deletion by positing two different underlying structures and by ranking combinations of constraints. This study has more explanatory advantages than the previous analyses, in that a few alternants of h-regular verbs can be dealt with by the proper constraint ranking hierarchy within the framework of OT and the limitations of the constraint, *vhv governing the fact that intervocalic /h/ is not allowed, can be overcome by positing the different underlying structures.
