한자음 설내 입성 운미의 유음화에 대하여

Abstract

This study discussed the change of Chinese syllable ending [-t˃] into [-l] in Sino-Korean. Ancient Chinese syllable ending [-t˃] is written as Ø, [-di], [-ri], and [-r] in Koguryeo's name of place. Ø is written because [-t˃] is implosive. [-di] is written because the Koguryeo language has closed-syllables. [-ri] and [-r] changed from [-di]. The process of the change is as follows: First step : ancient Chinese syllable ending [-t˃] was adopted as [-di]. Second step : d → r / V i Third step : i → Ø / V These changes took place from the end of the 6th century to the first half of the 7th century. The syllable ending [-l] in contemporary Sino-Korean changed after the implosion of [-r].
