초록

This paper explores the structure of the Korean lexicon based on the notion of "Phonological Complexity (PC)." The Korean lexicon is composed of three lexical strata: native and Sino-Korean words, and loanwords. For this study, we obtain 500 most frequent nouns for each class from the word list compiled by Kang and Kim (2004). We then calculate the PC values of the selected nouns using the bigram model proposed by Goldsmith (2002). A comparison of the PC values reveals that the average PC value is highest for loanwords, and lowest for Sino-Korean. The average PC value of native nouns is placed in the middle, and in fact, the PC values of native vocabulary are distributed widely from low to high values. The distribution of native nouns is in contrast with the distributions of loanwords and Sino-Korean, which are biased toward high and low PC values, respectively. Considering the relation between PC and markedness, we assert that Sino-Korean vocabulary is clustered around the unmarked portion of the lexicon, while loanwords are predominantly placed in the marked portion of the lexicon. Native vocabulary, on the other hand, is distributed in both marked and unmarked parts of the lexicon.

Abstract

This paper explores the structure of the Korean lexicon based on the notion of "Phonological Complexity (PC)." The Korean lexicon is composed of three lexical strata: native and Sino-Korean words, and loanwords. For this study, we obtain 500 most frequent nouns for each class from the word list compiled by Kang and Kim (2004). We then calculate the PC values of the selected nouns using the bigram model proposed by Goldsmith (2002). A comparison of the PC values reveals that the average PC value is highest for loanwords, and lowest for Sino-Korean. The average PC value of native nouns is placed in the middle, and in fact, the PC values of native vocabulary are distributed widely from low to high values. The distribution of native nouns is in contrast with the distributions of loanwords and Sino-Korean, which are biased toward high and low PC values, respectively. Considering the relation between PC and markedness, we assert that Sino-Korean vocabulary is clustered around the unmarked portion of the lexicon, while loanwords are predominantly placed in the marked portion of the lexicon. Native vocabulary, on the other hand, is distributed in both marked and unmarked parts of the lexicon.
