The goal of this paper is to determine what constitutes the tone bering unit in North Kyungsang Korean. For the purpose, I examine tonal phenomena involving contour tones in native and loanwords of North Kyungsang Korean. The crucial fact concerning the determination of the tone bearing unit in this language is that a contour tone, which is a concatenation of two level tones and so needs two tone bearing units, appears only on a bi-moraic syllable which contains a long vowel; it does not occur on a mono-moraic short vowel. In support of a contour tone on a long vowel is a process in which a long vowel, when level-toned, shortens. A contour tone on a long vowel is further supported by loan monosyllabic words with a long vowel. These words, unlike other words with a long vowel, do not show tone doubling. The inapplicability of tone doubling in these words can best be explained if these words is assumed to have a falling tone. Further data of loanwords reveal that a bi-moraic closed syllable with a short vowel does not carry a contour tone. Based on the finding that a contour tone occurs only on a bi-moraic syllable with a long vowel, I argue that the tone bearing unit in North Kyungsang Korean is the mora associated with the feature [+syllabic].
