Oh, Kwan-Young. 2002. On the Reanalysis of the Coda. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology 8.2. 223-237. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a new method for analyzing complex codas in the final syllables of word. If we consider any previous method used for analyzing syllable structures, we can't explain the complex codas appropriately. This is because previous syllable structures have allowed only one or two codas after a nucleus, and in the case of the complex codas, the relation between the coda and the appendix has generally been analyzed differently. The approach taken by this paper is based on the Harmonic Theory. The reason this paper has adopted the Harmonic theory is that, within the framework of this theory it is possible to use the appropriate information of three levels, in which the morphological information can be shown under a phonological word. I also suggest the modified syllable structure for the new framework, for by applying it, we can solve the problems related to complex codas, even in the case that an inflectional suffix of plural or past ending is added.
