F0 is one of the major phonetic correlates to the intensively studied laxtense-aspirated contrast in Korean obstruents. Numerous investigations of the standard Seoul dialect have shown that the vowels following tense or asp...

The phonetics and phonology of vowel length variation in Korean reduplicated ideophones

Kim, Hyung-Soo. 2008. The phonetics and phonology of vowel length variation in Korean reduplicated ideophones. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology 14.2. 39-60. Reduplicated ideophones in Korean present interesting problems in phonetics and phonology of vowel length variation. The vowel in the first syllable is short in the partially reduplicated type, e.g. sa ̆lɨlɨ ‘gently’, but long ...

Segmental Phonetics and Phonology

This article surveys the major topics of Caucasian phonetics and phonology focusing on those aspects that bear broader implications for general phonetics and phonological theory. The article first presents an acoustic phonetic treatment of phonemic inventories in the three Caucasian families that involves both a review of recent instrumental data on the topic as well as a new analysis of experi...

The Phonology and Phonetics of Unac- centable Vowels in Kyungsang Korean

Speakers of tonal and non-tonal Korean dialects use different cue weightings in the perception of the three-way laryngeal stop contrast

The current study investigated the perception of the three-way distinction among Korean voiceless stops in non-tonal Seoul and tonal Kyungsang Korean. The question addressed is whether listeners from these two dialects differ in the way they perceive the three stops. Forty-two Korean listeners (21 each from Seoul and South Kyungsang) were tested in a perception experiment with stimuli in which ...
