Effects of Syllable Structure on Korean Partial Reduplication: the Body as Reduplicant

Kim, Soojung(김수정) 새한영어영문학회 2020 새한영어영문학 Vol.62 No.3

Previous studies on partial reduplication in Korean have focused on accounting for the shape of reduplicant and the repetition mechanism, positing idiosyncratic constraints such as extraprosodicity, circumscription, or metrical weight consistence. In this study, a simplified and generalized analysis is offered involving infixation of the body. Specifically, the body, a sub-syllabic phonological constituent consisting of the onset and the nucleus, is claimed to be the shape of the reduplicant based on the recent development of Korean syllable structure in which the body is a more accessible sub-syllabic unit than rhyme. No study has shown that a sub-syllabic unit of the body can serve as a reduplicant, and in this respect my approach enlarges the typological database on reduplicants. It is further claimed that Korean partial reduplication is an infixing process to the head of the initial foot formed by the phrasal rhythmic tonal patterns.

중첩현상과 복원가능성

조학행,서정민 한국현대언어학회 2004 언어연구 Vol.19 No.3

In this paper according to Struijke ( 2000a ) we will introduce Word Faithfulness, which relates inputs to entire output words. We will argue that faithfulness constraints demand recoverability of input material from the output, rather than identity between the two. Given an input element and a single identical output correspondent, both identity and recoverability are achieved. However, in multiple correspondence a s established in reduplication, recoverability does not imply identity. If one output correspondent is identical to an input element but a second output correspondent is not, recoverablity is served, but identity is not achieved. Based on the idea, first we will analyse TETU in Korean suffixal reduplication according to Correspondence Theory (McCarthy & Prince, 1995a). However, though the model can explain TETU in the reduplicant, it cannot analyse TETU in the base and in both the base and the reduplicant. Therefore, we will apply a new TETU approach to Korean suffixal reduplicant according to the modified Correspondence Theory (Struijke, 2000a)

Fixed segmentism in Mongolian reduplication

Chin-Wan Chung 한국음운론학회 2010 음성·음운·형태론 연구 Vol.16 No.3

This study focuses on the two types of the fixed segmentism in Mongolian reduplication. The first type is the fixed segment that has a phonology basis, while the second type has a morphology basis. The study reveals that the fixed segment in the different types of reduplication behaves differently from each other. In one type, the fixed segment does not change at all, and TETU applies to the vowel length in the reduplicant. In addition, the unmarked feature of the fixed segment is different from in the regular phonology. In the other type, the fixed segment alternates with another segment to avoid restrictions applying to reduplication, and it becomes the landing site of the feature copied from the base. The result of study may show that two different types of fixed segment can occur within a language and that the unmarked feature may be different between the regular phonology and reduplication.

영어의 중첩현상: 분류와 특징들

조형묵 韓國交通大學校 2013 한국교통대학교 논문집 Vol.48 No.-

Reduplication is the phonological repetitions of segmental materials triggered by a morphological source (Raimy 2011) and it is found in a quite lot of languages with various types and uses. The reduplication forms are composed of at least two linguistic forms, the base and reduplicant and the part that copies the base is called reduplicant. This paper discusses the classification and features of the reduplication constructions in English. In addition to total (echo) reduplication, ablaut reduplication, and rhyme reduplication which are frequently found in English, English reduplication constructions include multiple partial reduplication, deprecative reduplication, intensive reduplication and contrastive reduplication. As to the features of reduplication constructions in English, it is explained that ablaut reduplication and rhyme reduplication in English have the characteristics of positing perceptually maximally distinct segments in their first half and second half. Semantically, the reduplication constructions in English have the various meanings of disparaging, emphasis, quality, description and it is shown that the meaning of quality is most prevalent in the reduplication constructions in English.

형용사 중첩의 "-디-"에 대하여

송정근 ( Jung Keun Song ) 서울대학교 인문학연구원 2011 人文論叢 Vol.66 No.-

The purpose of this paper is to identify ``-ti`` which is analyzed in Korean adjectives reduplication. ``-ti`` has similarities with some root-formatives like ``-r, -chuk`` in terms of making a new root, which means that ``-ti`` is a kind of affix in morphological construction. But considering the role in the processes of reduplication and the status of the roots which are made by ``-ti, -r, -chuk``, ``-ti`` is different from the others. In addition, the fact that ``-ti`` makes the intensive adjectives in semantic approaches distinguishes ``-ti`` from ``-r, -chuk`` which stand for the distribution in sensorial expression. ``-ti`` has no special meaning in Korean reduplicated adjectives in that the reduplication of the adjective itself is enough to express the intensive sensorial scale. In typological approaches, ``-ti`` can be classified by linker morphs or subconstituents in melodic overwriting. The general pattern in Korean reduplication indicates that ``-ti`` is a part of reduplicat in adjective reduplication, in that the syllable number of the base is usually the same as that of reduplicant. Especially the explanation that ``-ti`` is changed from the Korean ending ``-ta`` by vowel change is reasonable in that vowel or consonant change is common in Korean reduplication. In addition ``-na`` which is very similar to ``-ti`` can be explained by the same process. Namely ``-na`` is also made by the consonant change from the ending ``-ta``.

The Syllable Contact in C Insertion Revisited

안영란 한국언어학회 2014 언어 Vol.39 No.4

There may be a myriad of factors affecting the choice behavior, given many potentially possible consonants to be inserted in a certain position, like the onset of a reduplicant in a form of VCVC-CVCVC. Inter alia, this paper picks up the matter of local relationship, focusing particularly on a consonant preceding the segment to be inserted. It was previously found that the neighboring consonants on the border of syllables respect the constraint of syllable contact, in terms of sonority profile. This paper expands on this idea and provides a microscopic analysis on the data in point, arguing that seemingly SYLLCON violating cases turn out not to be the true instances of violation.

Multiple Patterns of Reduplication in Nuuchahnulth : A Templatic Approach

Eun-Sook Kim 서울대학교 언어교육원 (구 서울대학교 어학연구소) 2008 語學硏究 Vol.44 No.1

Nuuchahnulth has very unique patterns of reduplication which raise many interesting questions. Reduplication occurs when certain suffixes attach to a stem. The form of the reduplicant ranges from CV to CVVCCC, depending on the attached suffix. Multiple patterns in Nuuchahnulth reduplication present problems for a-templatic approaches. The data in this study provide more complex patterns than those we are familiar with from previous work. In this paper, I provide a templatic solution to the problems raised by the case of Nuuchahnulth, and argue that we should employ templates to deal with at least some cases of reduplication

A Study on the Emergence of the Unmarked in Chinese Reduplication and Phonological Issues

( Chin Wan Chung ) 대한언어학회 2011 언어학 Vol.19 No.2

The current study focuses on partial reduplication of three Chinese dialects. The study reveals that the location of on-glides in the dialects is different. The study also shows that the emergence of the unmarked occurs not only in the reduplicant but also in the base under the proposed constraint ranking schema. The realization of the diminutive morpheme in the different syllable position in three dialects is explained by two different alignment constraints.
