15세기 관형형어미 ㄹ 결합형의 출현 배경에 대한 검토

Abstract

During the creation of Hunminjeongeum in 15th-century Korea, two writing forms emerged that combined the adnominal ending -l with its following constituent, necessitating an investigation into their relationship. When a constituent with strong combination constraints is followed by the former adnominal ending -ls, the initial sound of the following constituent of ㄽ is reconstructed, resulting in the formation of '-l+S-Habyongbyeongseo(doubled consonant letters starting with s)'. Meanwhile, the -l from -ls and the initial sound of the following constituent are newly analyzed as fortis [s͈]. This is because the morphological awareness of -ls is weakened due to competition with other adnominal endings like -n and -ls. The analysis and subsequent analogy led to a change to fortis [s͈] when the initial sound of the following constituent was a plosive. Korean language users with a transparent inherent grammar of [ʔ] had two options. If the following constituent was used independently, they chose -lʔ for the adnominal ending. However, even though they had a transparent inherent grammar of [ʔ], if the following constituent was restricted by its preceding constituent, users had to choose '-l+Gakjabyeongseo(doubled consonant letters)' forms. Consequently, there was no phonological relationship between these two forms of adnominal endings and their following constituent combinations.
