Abstract

Chong (2017) claims that a derived environment process is productive to the extent that it is supported by phonotactics. The present study tests this claim by comparing variable patterns observed in Korean vowel harmony of suffix alternation with vowel co-occurrence restrictions in the lexicon. A corpus study replicated findings of previous studies that the harmony in suffix alternation is losing productivity, conditioned by the quality of the stem vowel, the number of intervening consonants between the vowels and the stem class. Phonotactic generalisations in vowel sequences matched such tendencies in the alternation in that harmony was feeble in phonotactics and that some of the factors that modulate the harmony in alternation were found to affect the harmony in phonotactics as well. The findings generally support Chong’s claim that lack of phonotactic support for an alternation makes it harder to learn.

韩国语元音和谐的语音战术支持薄弱,生产率有限
Chong(2017)认为,派生环境过程只要得到语音事实的支持,就是富有成效的。本研究通过比较后缀交替的韩语元音和谐中观察到的可变模式与词典中的元音共现限制来验证这一观点。一项语料库研究重复了以前的研究结果,即后缀交替中的和谐是失去生产力的,受到词干元音质量、元音之间的辅音数量和词干类别的制约。元音序列中的语音战术概括与交替中的这种趋势相吻合,即语音战术中的和谐是微弱的,而且发现在交替中调节和谐的一些因素也会影响语音战术中的和谐。研究结果总体上支持 Chong 的观点,即缺乏语音战术支持的交替音更难学习。

期刊介绍: Phonology, published three times a year, is the only journal devoted exclusively to the discipline, and provides a unique forum for the productive interchange of ideas among phonologists and those working in related disciplines. Preference is given to papers which make a substantial theoretical contribution, irrespective of the particular theoretical framework employed, but the submission of papers presenting new empirical data of general theoretical interest is also encouraged. The journal carries research articles, as well as book reviews and shorter pieces on topics of current controversy within phonology.
