韓国語話者による音韻変化を伴う終声のカタカナ表記に関する考察

Abstract

In order to investigate how Korean speakers transcribe Korean vocabulary with phonological changes in katakana, this paper conducted an experiment in which advanced learners of Japanese were asked to look at vocabulary written in Hangul and transcribe it in katakana. In this experiment, we analyzed whether Korean speakers are influenced by the original notation to make transcription notations or whether they make katakana notations based on phonetic changes in speech. The results of the study revealed the following In the previous study, when Japanese speakers wrote Korean words with phonological changes in katakana, “closed syllable” notation, which reflects phonological changes, was the most common notation (47.79%), indicating that they tried to show phonological changes in some way, while Korean speakers wrote only 16.03% of “prompt” notation, which corresponds to closed syllables, and 8.33% of “repellent” notation. The most common type of transcription was “transcription” at 59.54%. This indicates that Korean speakers, unlike Japanese speakers, frequently use “transcription” even when accompanied by phonological changes. In the case of the “transcription” notation shown by many Korean speakers, the notation is close to the original Hangul notation, which makes it suitable for reconstructing the notation. However, when pronounced as shown in this notation, the pronunciation is different from the actual pronunciation, so it is not an appropriate expression in terms of communication with learners. On the other hand, a notation that reflects the phonetic changes shown by Japanese speakers can be useful for communication to a certain extent, but it is not suitable from the perspective of restoring the original language because it is far from the original Hangul notation. Thus, there are still many problems that need to be solved in the katakana notation of Korean.
