초록
The three-way laryngeal contrast in Korean stop consonants often ends up losing its sharp boundaries between a lax and a tense due to the tensification of a lax as in /kim-pɑp/ → [kim-p*ɑp] ‘a seaweed roll’. It turns out then that there are two types of tense stops in Korean: one is a derived tense as in the previous example and the other a canonical tense as in /ɑp*ɑ/→ [ɑp*ɑ] ‘dad’. The purpose of this study is to examine these tense stops in Korean by exploring the characteristics of temporal variations of Korean tense stops. Based on a corpus analysis, we show both phonological and social factors are associated with various consonantal durations. Specifically, it is found that (i) the phonologically different tense stops result in temporal variations in that the consonantal durations of the derived ones are significantly longer than those of the canonical ones and (ii) larger durational differences were found in female speakers’ utterances, although both male and female speakers displayed similar patterns. These temporal variations may be understood in terms of both psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic aspects of language use.
Abstract
The three-way laryngeal contrast in Korean stop consonants often ends up losing its sharp boundaries between a lax and a tense due to the tensification of a lax as in /kim-pɑp/ → [kim-p*ɑp] ‘a seaweed roll’. It turns out then that there are two types of tense stops in Korean: one is a derived tense as in the previous example and the other a canonical tense as in /ɑp*ɑ/→ [ɑp*ɑ] ‘dad’. The purpose of this study is to examine these tense stops in Korean by exploring the characteristics of temporal variations of Korean tense stops. Based on a corpus analysis, we show both phonological and social factors are associated with various consonantal durations. Specifically, it is found that (i) the phonologically different tense stops result in temporal variations in that the consonantal durations of the derived ones are significantly longer than those of the canonical ones and (ii) larger durational differences were found in female speakers’ utterances, although both male and female speakers displayed similar patterns. These temporal variations may be understood in terms of both psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic aspects of language use.
