韓国語統営方言と日本語東京方言のアクセントの対照研究

Abstract

An origin and the system of Korean language are an unclear like Japanese, but Korean is very similar grammatically. Although the study of Japanese accent system was done clearly at least in the mainland of Japan, a study of the accent of Korean was limited. The main purpose of this paper is to propose a new perspective on the Gyeongsang-do dialect of Korea and to provide a comprehensive analysis based on the author's survey. These goals are summarized as follows: A phonological interpretation of the accent system of the Tongyoung dialect is presented. Conversely, in the five-pattern accent system proposed in this paper, there are only five conflicts, regardless of the length of the accent unit. Comparing the Tokyo dialect, there are three oppositions for a 1󰠏syllable word, three oppositions for a 2󰠏syllable word, and so on. For Tokyo accent type, n kernel position, plus kernelless type, (indicated by = symbol, symbol indicates zero accent), total n + 1. In this paper, we discuss in detail the Tongyoung dialect, report on the data obtained from the survey. This research using Japanese accents is expected to contribute not only to Japanese and Korean, but also to typological research on pitch accents and generalization of theory between languages.
