초록
The present paper adopts the view that a final consonant is syllabified as an onset rather than a coda: the onset in turn is followed by an empty nucleus. The empty nucleus does not receive phonetic interpretation when certain conditions are met. This final-onset view is empirically supported by various phonological phenomena, such as stress assignment, vowel length distribution, and phonotactic constraint on consonant sequences in other languages. Furthermore, the final-onset view can also be extended to internal codas so that Korean can dispense with codas altogether. Specifically, it is assumed that [ɨ] is lexically represented by an empty nucleus and surface consonant clusters are syllabified as two onsets with an intervening empty nucleus. The absence/presence of [ɨ] determines the well-formedness of consonant clusters, i.e. the absence of [ɨ] indicates that the cluster is well-formed and its presence indicates that it is ill-formed. It is shown that the phonetic interpretation of an empty nucleus is regulated by the Empty Category Principle. In this way, this relatively simple structure can more adequately account for phonotactic constraints on consonant clusters in native and loanword phonology.
Abstract
The present paper adopts the view that a final consonant is syllabified as an onset rather than a coda: the onset in turn is followed by an empty nucleus. The empty nucleus does not receive phonetic interpretation when certain conditions are met. This final-onset view is empirically supported by various phonological phenomena, such as stress assignment, vowel length distribution, and phonotactic constraint on consonant sequences in other languages. Furthermore, the final-onset view can also be extended to internal codas so that Korean can dispense with codas altogether. Specifically, it is assumed that [ɨ] is lexically represented by an empty nucleus and surface consonant clusters are syllabified as two onsets with an intervening empty nucleus. The absence/presence of [ɨ] determines the well-formedness of consonant clusters, i.e. the absence of [ɨ] indicates that the cluster is well-formed and its presence indicates that it is ill-formed. It is shown that the phonetic interpretation of an empty nucleus is regulated by the Empty Category Principle. In this way, this relatively simple structure can more adequately account for phonotactic constraints on consonant clusters in native and loanword phonology.
