黃海道 安岳 地域語의 母音調和 硏究

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the realization of the vowel harmony in morpheme boundaries of the Anak dialect, which belongs to Hwanghae-do dialect. In previous studies, Hwanghae-do dialect between the Northwest and the Central dialect has a dialectic characteristic of the transition area. This study investigated the vowel harmonization patterns of the Anak dialect in Hwanghae-do, according to the numbers of stem and the phonological characteristics of the final syllable vowel of stem, by using the voice materials of the informant from the Anak area located in the northwestern of Hwanghae-do. In Hwanghae-do dialect, it maintains an unstable vowel list of 'i, e, ɛ, ø, ɨ, ə, a, o, u'. Firstly, if the stem is monosyllable, irrespective of the structure of the stem, when the vowel of stem is 'a, o, ɛ', it will be connected with the ending '-a'. And when the vowel of stem is 'ə, e, i, u, ɨ', it will be connected with the ending ‘-ə’. Secondly, when the stem is polysyllable, if the vowel of the last syllable are 'a, o, ɛ', it will be connected with the ending ‘-a’. And if the vowel of the last syllable is ‘ə, e, i, u, ɨ’, it will be connected with the ending ‘-ə’. But if the vowel of the last syllable is ‘u’ or ‘ɨ’, the ending will be determined by the vowel of the leading syllable. Lastly, we discussed the case of the ‘-p’ irregular stem, and found that if the stem is ‘-p’ irregular predicate, in most cases, it will be connected with the ending '-a'. Unlike the Northwest dialect and the Central dialect, this is a characteristic of Hwanghae-do dialect. On the whole, it can be said that the vowel harmony of Hwanghae-do Anak dialect is more similar to the Northwest dialect rather the Central dialect, but also has its own characteristics.
