영월방언과 정선방언 용언 성조의 비교

Abstract

The purpose of this research is twofold. One is to describe the tones of verbs in Yeongwol dialect. The other is to analyze the correspondence between the tones of verbs in Yeongwol dialect and Jeongseon dialect. Through this, we aim to explain that the Jeongseon dialect is a tonal language. As a result, we argue that if the Yeongwol dialect is described as a tonal language, then the Jeongseon dialect should also be described as a tonal language. There are four reasons for this judgment: 1. Tonal Systems: Both the tonal systems of the Yeongwol dialect and the Jeongseon dialect are composed of two levels and three tonal elements. In other words, the range of tones includes high [H] and low [M], and the tonal system is composed of plain tone (□), departing tone (·□), and rising tone (:□). 2. Tonal Rules: The tonal rules applied to the phonological process are the same. The tonal rules include neutralization rules, rules for the transformation of the departing tone to plain-2 tone, rules for the free variation of the pyeongbog-hyeong, and rules for the plain tone of the departing tone before {·에}. 3. Tone Realization Rules: The tone realization rules are almost identical in both dialects. In other words, in a one-syllable isolated environment, it is realized as level tone [H ̚], departing tone [], and rising tone []. And in the polysyllabic, the tone realization rules for plain-1 tonal pattern, pyeongbog tonal pattern, and rising tonal pattern are the same. However, the tone realization rule of the yin-departing tonal pattern exists only in the Yeongwol dialect. 4. Tones of Verbs: The tones of verbs in the two dialects matched 89.4% and mismatched 10.6%. The tones of verbs in the Yeongwol dialect, which is described as a tonal language, is very similar to that of the Jeongseon dialect. Therefore, it can be said that the Jeongseon dialect is also a tonal language. In conclusion, based on the similarities in tonal systems, tonal rules, tone realization rules, and tones of verbs, it is reasonable to describe the Jeongseon dialect as a tonal language, just like the Yeongwol dialect.
