초록
While phonetic neutralization in different morphophonological environments is discussed in previous studies (Kisseberth (1969)), Korean palatalization is known as an uncommon phonological phenomenon because the morpheme boundary plays a role. This study investigates whether the effect of morpheme boundaries is also at play in allophonic /n/ palatalization in Korean, and shows that morpheme boundaries contribute to allophonic variation. Using ultrasound imaging of 4 native speakers of Korean, this study examines differences in /n/ palatalization between two morphologically different sets of words in Korean – tautomorphemic words (e.g., /koni/ ‘swan’) and heteromorphemic words (e.g., /mun#i/ ‘door + NOM (nominative marker)’). Comparisons of the degree of palatalization before /i/ show significant differences among different morphological environments. The results from this study not only support Cho (1998, 2001)’s claim on boundary effect in Korean /n/ palatalization, but also suggest that there are individual differences in distinguishing various morphological conditions.
Abstract
While phonetic neutralization in different morphophonological environments is discussed in previous studies (Kisseberth (1969)), Korean palatalization is known as an uncommon phonological phenomenon because the morpheme boundary plays a role. This study investigates whether the effect of morpheme boundaries is also at play in allophonic /n/ palatalization in Korean, and shows that morpheme boundaries contribute to allophonic variation. Using ultrasound imaging of 4 native speakers of Korean, this study examines differences in /n/ palatalization between two morphologically different sets of words in Korean – tautomorphemic words (e.g., /koni/ ‘swan’) and heteromorphemic words (e.g., /mun#i/ ‘door + NOM (nominative marker)’). Comparisons of the degree of palatalization before /i/ show significant differences among different morphological environments. The results from this study not only support Cho (1998, 2001)’s claim on boundary effect in Korean /n/ palatalization, but also suggest that there are individual differences in distinguishing various morphological conditions.
