음절말 비음 간 대치 현상에 대하여

소신애(So, Shin-ae) 국어국문학회 2019 국어국문학 Vol.0 No.188

The purpose of this article is to describe the substitution between the syllable final nasals that is sporadically observed in Korean. Furthermore, it aims to clarify the motivation and the mechanism of the phenomenon. The main points of my discussion are as below. First, there is the substitution between the syllable final nasals that cannot be explained from the viewpoint of the place assimilation in Korean. Second, the substitution between the syllable final nasals can be understood from the viewpoint of the strengthening and dissimilation. Third, the motivation of the strengthening and dissimilation is the intention of the speaker to increase the distinctiveness of the speech. Fourth, there is high probability that the substitution between the syllable final nasals is actuated by the listener’s misperception in the speech interpretation process. Fifth, syllable final nasals are more likely to be misperceived for their places of articulation because they have weaker perceptual cues for the distinction of the places of articulation comparing to other consonants. Sixth, the reason why the misperception is occurred between the syllable final nasals is that the perceptual cues for the place of articulation of nasals are poor, whereas the perceptual cues for the manner of articulation of nasals are rich. Seventh, if the misperception of the place of articulation of nasals is occurred, the underlying forms will be restructured by the feedback loop of the speech perception and speech production.

This paper examines lexical gradualness of the phonological change focusing on the change in progress in Yukjin dialect in the North Hamgyeong Province. In this paper I suggest that phonological changes may be implemented gradually via synchronic variation. It is based on the minute investigation on the written documents published about 100 years ago reflecting the same dialect and verbal data collected recently in Yanbian, China. The focal point of my discussion is the variation by optional alternation and the resulting change. Using the practical data, I attempt to prove the hypothesis that phonological changes by phonological processes may be implemented gradually through optional phonological alternation.

평안 방언의 실험음성학적 연구

소신애(So Shin-Ae) 국어학회 2010 국어학 Vol.0 No.58

본고는 실험음성학적 관점에서 평안 방언의 모음에 대해 논의하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 평안 방언, 그중에서도 평양 지역어의 모음을 음향음성학적관점에서 분석하고자 한다. 특히, 기존에 조사되지 못한 노년층(80-90대) 제보자의 자료를 대상으로, 평안 방언의 단모음에 대해 살펴볼 것이다. 단모음의 포먼트(F1, F2, F3)를 측정한 결과를 바탕으로, 평안 방언의 모음 체계가 /ㅣ, ㅔ, ㅐ, ㅡ, ㅏ, ㅜ, ㅗ/의 7모음 체계임을 보일 것이다. 그리고 /ㅡ/와 /ㅜ/,/ㅔ/와 /ㅐ/의 합류를 통해, 이는 점차 /ㅣ, ㅔ, ㅏ, ㅜ, ㅗ/의 5모음 체계를 향해 변화해 가고 있음을 언급할 것이다. 뿐만 아니라, 중부 방언(서울 및 경기지역어)과의 비교를 통해 평안 방언 각 모음의 정확한 음가를 제시할 것이다. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the vowels of the Pyeong’an dialect from the viewpoint of the experimental phonetics. It will analyse the vowels of the Pyeong’an dialect, specifically the Pyeong’yang subdialect in terms of the acoustic phonetics. It will investigate acoustic qualities of the monophthongs of the Pyeong’an dialect spoken by the speakers mostly in their 80-90s. It will show that the Pyeong’an dialect has a 7 vowel system(/ㅣ(i), ㅔ(e), ㅐ(?), ㅡ(?), ㅏ(a), ㅜ(u), ㅗ(?)/) being based on the results of the formant(F1, F2, F3) measurements. Furthermore, it will mention that the current 7 vowel system is under the ongoing change to a 5vowel system(/ㅣ(i), ㅔ(e), ㅏ(a), ㅜ(u), ㅗ(?)/ by mergers of /ㅔ/(e) and /ㅐ/(?) as well as /ㅡ/(?) and /ㅜ/(u). Besides, this paper will describe the accurate phonetic values of the vowels of the Pyeong’an dialect comparing to the vowels of the Central dialect.

북한 문화어의 방언 수용 양상

In this article, I have discussed the acceptance of dialects in the North Korean standard language, Munhwa-eo. The key takeaways are presented below. Firstly, the acceptance of dialects in the North Korean standard language, Munhwa-eo, was a result of the speech refinement and Munhwa-eo movements that started in the mid-1960s. Secondly, the dialect vocabulary incorporated into Munhwa-eo is generally indigenous words that feature uniqueness, commonness, ethnicity, peopleliness, timeliness, and acceptability, which can enrich the lexical composition of Munhwa-eo and enhance its ethnic characteristics. Thirdly, the acceptance of dialects as Munhwa-eo is significant in that it has contributed to preserving the uniqueness, diversity, and ethnicity of the Korean language. However, strictly excluding the use of regional dialects other than those accepted in Munhwa-eo is a fundamental limitation.

체언 어간말 ‘>오’ 변화에 대하여 -중부 방언을 중심으로-

소신애 ( So Shin-ae ) 국어학회 2015 국어학 Vol.74 No.-

This paper investigated the motivation and the mechanism of the declensional stem-final ‘Λ>o’ change in the Central dialect. The main points of my discussion are as below. Firstly, it is highly possible that ‘Λ>o’ is a spontaneous sound change since the phonological environment of the change cannot be specifically defined. Secondly, the declensional stem-final ‘Λ>o’ is a merger resulted from the phonological ambiguity of ‘Λ’ and the phonetic similarity between ‘Λ’ and ‘o’. Besides, the necessity for the enhancement of the auditory effects and distinctiveness of the declensional stem-final ‘Λ’ is also the reason for the merger. Thirdly, in the phonetic dimension, this change would have implemented by the gradual merger of the allophonic ranges of ‘Λ’ and ‘o’. Fourthly, in the lexical dimension, this change would have gradually diffused for morphemes. Fifthly, in the social dimension, this change would have occurred optionally by speakers. Actually, there existed not only ‘Λ>o’ but also ‘Λ>i’, ‘Λ>□’ and ‘Λ>a’ as the competing changes in the Central dialect.

함남 방언의 모음 체계와 그 변화 -함흥 지역어를 중심으로-

소신애 ( So Shin-ae ) 국어학회 2021 국어학 Vol.- No.97

This paper discussed the vowel system of the South Hamgyeong dialect and its diachronic change. It examined the process of the diachronic change in the vowel system and the direction of the change in progress by comparing the South Hamgyeong dialect data from the early 20th century and the Hamheung subdialect data from the mid-20th century. The discussions are as follows: First, from the apparent time perspective, it is supposed that the South Hamgyeong dialect of the early 20th century was generally a 10-vowel system, including /ㅚ, ㅟ/(=/ö, ü/), but it gradually changed to an 8-vowel system as /ㅚ, ㅟ/ dephonologized. Second, since the mid-20th century, the region of articulation of /ㅡ/(=/ɨ/) has gradually moved toward /ㅜ/(=/u/), which seems to have led to /ㅡ/>/ㅜ/ merging in the vowel system. Phonetically, /ㅗ/(=/o/) has been lowered and /ㅓ/(=/ə/) has been raised, while /ㅔ/(=/e/) and /ㅐ/(=/ε/) maintain a relatively stable opposition. In particular, it is estimated that such changes in the vowel system have developed rapidly in North Korea since the 1950s. Third, upon completion of merging /ㅡ/>/ㅜ/, it is predicted that the vowel system of the South Hamgyeong dialect will be the 7-vowel system of /ㅣ(i), ㅔ(e), ㅐ(ε), ㅏ(a), ㅜ(u), and ㅗ(ɔ)/.

A Study of Peak Finding Algorithms for the Autocorrelation Function of Speech Signal

In this paper, the peak finding algorithms corresponding to the Autocorrelation Function (ACF), which are widely exploited for detecting the pitch of voiced signal, are proposed. According to various researchers, it is well known fact that the estimation of fundamental frequency (F0) in speech signal is not only very important task but quite difficult mission. The proposed algorithms, presented in this paper, are implemented by using many characteristics – such as monotonic increasing function - of ACF function. Thus, the proposed algorithms may be able to estimate both reliable and correct the fundamental frequency as long as the autocorrelation function of speech signal is accurate. Since the proposed algorithms may reduce the computational complexity it can be applied to the real-time processing. The speech data, is composed of Korean emotion expressed words, is used for evaluation of their performance. The pitches are measured to compare the performance of proposed algorithms.

This paper presents the types of phonological changes which are triggered by listeners in the speech interpretation process. There are some changes which are hard to be explained in the articulatory point of view. However, it is possible that those changes are explained in the viewpoint of speech interpretation process. This paper proposes four types of the phonological changes by listeners. They are changes by misperception of phonemes, changes by misperception of phoneme sequences, changes by hypo-analysis of surface forms and changes by hyper-analysis of surface forms.

The purpose of this paper is to lay the groundwork for the globalization of the study on Korean phonology through the investigation of the existing studies on Korean phonology in English-speaking countries. Therefore, in this paper, I will examine the descriptions on Korean phonology in Euramerican countries from the critical point of view. I will discuss the adequacy of the description on Korean phonology focusing on the studies in North America since the 1950s. Firstly, I will outline the studies on Korean phonology in English-speaking countries by researchers. Next, I will examine the descriptions of the phonological systems and phonological phenomena of Contemporary Korean(Central dialect) by main issues. Lastly, I will briefly examine the studies on Korean historical phonology and Korean dialectal phonology. It is the ultimate goal of this paper that we can find the ways to broaden the horizon of the studies on Korean phonology to the world through this kind of work.
