There is a lot of literature available in the field of transformational grammar on how to analyze cleft sentences. Unfortunately, however, the previous approaches, which are mainly limited to give pure syntactic explanations for the phenomena, leave many of the problems unexplained. The purpose of this paper is to provide a discourse-functional account of the cleft constructions with the basic assumption that language is a communicative device and a representation of human behavior. Throughout this paper, it is shown that it is necessary to go beyond sentence level in the examination of linguistic phenomena such as cleft constructions to account for the reality of language use in actual discourse.

영어 SMS 약어에 대한 형태론적 분석

강석근 ( Seok Keun Kang ),양선기 ( Seon Ki Yang ) 대한언어학회 2015 언어학 Vol.23 No.2

The purpose of this paper is to survey English abbreviations that are currently used in text messaging and online chat, and to providea morphological account of them. To this end, we collected 1159 data with morphological properties from five online dictionaries and five websites/blogs, and analyzed them by the processes by which they were formed. The results showed that about 92.49% of all the data were initialisms. Compared with initialism, word-formational processes such as blending, clipping, onomatopoeia etc. were relatively infrequently used to make SMS abbreviations. Clipped words accounted for only 4.06% (47 words) of the collected data, which was followed by onomatopoeia/mimetic words (0.69%), symbols (0.51%) and blends (0.43%). This analysis shows a rather different result from previous analyses (Kumar2012; Anjaneyulu2013).

On morpheme order: A generalized alignment perspective

Seok-keun Kang(강석근),Unyong Cho(조운용) 한국음운론학회 2006 음성·음운·형태론 연구 Vol.12 No.3

  Much recent work in Optimality Theory has dealt with the interaction between phonological and morphological constraints on realization of morphemes. With respect to morpheme order, in particular, two issues discussed in this paper are (i) whether morphemes should be ordered in the input or not, and (ii) if morpheme order is not given in the input, then what decides the order in the output. Specifically considering both the featural infixation in Inor and Japanese, and the spreading of bitropic morphemes in Ter?na and Etsako, we claim that unlike Horwood’s (2002) assertion, morpheme order should not be posited in the input. We further argue that unlike de Lacy’s (2001) assertion, morpheme order is a property of constraints, not of morphemes. It is shown that given the assumptions, a generalized alignment approach can provide a more satisfactory account of the distributional patterns of featural and bitropic morphemes.

Segment Deletion and Blocking Triggered by Suffixation in English : An Optimality Theoretic Approach

Seok-keun Kang(강석근),Ying Ying Gao(고영영) 한국언어학회 2017 언어 Vol.42 No.2

This paper discusses segment deletion and blocking effects triggered by suffixation in English from the perspective of Optimality Theory. First, considering both stem-final rime deletion and blocking of suffixation, we argue that the two seemingly different phenomena can be given a unified account by using the Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP). That is, when suffixation creates a string of syllables with identical onsets, stem-final rime is deleted in conformity with the constraint. We also show that suffixation is blocked where the resulting form violates the OCP. Finally, addressing stem-final vowel deletion induced by vowel-initial suffixes, we claim that the vowel deletion applies as a repair strategy to avoid violation of the markedness constraint No Vowel Hiatus, which rules out two adjacent vowels across a syllable boundary.

영어 SMS의 발음철자법에 대한 음운론적 분석

강석근 ( Kang Seok-keun ),양선기 ( Seon-ki Yang ) 대한언어학회 2016 언어학 Vol.24 No.3

This paper aims to provide a phonological account of phonetic spellings used in English SMS. To this end, we collected 1159 tokens from various online dictionaries, websites, and blogs, and analysed the phonetic spellings of vowels and consonants used in them. First, we show that, unlike the standard orthography of English, there exist the following default spellings of vowels in texting: /∂/ → < a >, /ε/ → < e >, /ey/ → <ai, e>, /ay/ → <ai, y>, /Λ, □, u/ → < u >, /□, ow/ → < o >, /i, I/ → < i >. Second, we claim that a default spelling does not necessarily represent a specific vowel, but it can also substitute for more than one vowel, which is often closely related to prosodic structure. Specifically, we argue that the letter < ai > spells /ey/ in closed syllables and /ay/ in open syllables, and that the letter <o> replaces /□/ in closed syllables and /ow/ in open syllables. Third, we propose that there may be more than one way to spell a vowel in texting: /ey/ is spelt as < ai > or < e >, and /ay/ as < ai > or < y >, depending on syllable structure. With respect to the phonetic spellings of consonants, we claim that there is also a similar tendency to use default spellings. Besides, consonant cluster reduction takes place in an effort to save time and space in texting. Finally, we also show that phonetic spelling includes eye dialect, which substitutes letters in irregular standard spellings for those which more regularly correspond to the particular sound.

K-SEC (Korean-Spoken English Corpus) is a kind of speech database that is being under construction by the authors of this paper This article discusses the needs of the K-SEC from various academic disciplines and industrial circles, and it introduces the characteristics of the K-SEC design, its catalogues and contents of the recorded database, exemplifying what are being considered from both Korean and English languages' phonetics and phonologies. The K-SEC can be marked as a beginning of a parallel speech corpus, and it is suggested that a similar corpus should be enlarged for the future advancements of the experimental phonetics and the speech information technology.

Simplification Strategies Adopted by Chinese Adult and Child EFL Learners

중국인 외국어 학습자는 영어의 자음군과 어말 자음을 습득할 때 모국어의 음소배열 제약으로 어려움을 겪을 수 있다. 본 연구는 중국 성인과 어린이들의 영어 어두와 어말 자음(군) 발화를 비교 연구함으로써 그들의 음운 패턴을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 본 연구는 주로 세 자음으로 구성된 자음군(CCC), 두 자음으로 구성된 자음군(CC)과 어말 자음(C)을 연구대상으로 하고 있으며, 이 자음군들이 포함된 30개 영어 단어를 각각 16명의 중국 성인 외국어 학습자와 16명의 중국 어린이 외국어 학습자들이 읽게 하고 비교한 것으로 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 성인과 어린이의 자음군 난이도순은 “CCC > CC > C”로 나타나고 있는데 음절초 자음군과 음절말 자음군에서 성인은 어린이보다 단순화 전략을 더 많이 사용하였다. 성인과 어린이들은 모두 생략보다 삽입을 더 많이 사용하였다. 어린이들은 음절초 자음군에서 삽입을 더 많이 선호한 반면, 성인은 음절말 자음 및 음절말 자음군에서 삽입을 더 많이 선호하였다. 성인과 어린이들은 음절말 자음 및 음절말 자음군보다 음절초 자음군에서 생략을 더 많이 선호하였다. 위의 결론은 모두 L1전이와 계발적 인자 그리고 유표성 이론으로 설명가능하다. Due to the phonotactic constraints, Chinese EFL learners may be expected to have difficulty in producing English consonant clusters and word-final single consonants. This paper attempts to make a comparative study of the English word-initial and word-final consonant clusters/consonants produced by Chinese children and adult learners and derive their phonological patterns. This study focused on the three-consonant clusters (CCC), two-consonant clusters (CC) and word-final consonants (C) in 30 words produced by 16 children and 16 adults. The results showed that difficulty rank in adults’ and children’s acquisition of consonant clusters was CCC > CC > C. Adults adopted more simplification strategies than children in onset and coda consonants. Both adults and children favored insertion more than deletion. Children tended to apply epenthesis in the onset consonant clusters, while adults were inclined to adopt epenthesis in coda consonant clusters. Adults and children adopted more deletion in onset than in coda. We claim that the results can be explained by L1 transfer, developmental factors and Markedness theories.

고대영어의 두음탈락과 보상장음화: 대응이론의 분석

Compensatory lengthening (CL) refers to the process whereby the deletion of a segment leads to the lengthening of another segment. The traditional moraic approach to CL (Hayes 1989, among others) predicts that only deletion of mora-bearing segments, i.e., vowels and coda consonants, can induce this phenomenon. In this paper, however, we show that the deletion of an onset consonant in Old English (OE) can result in CL, bringing to light the aspects of CL triggered by the deletion of non-moraic segments. In doing so, we also point out that the traditional account of the phenomenon is not adequate. Reconsidering CL with onset consonant deletion in OE within the framework of correspondence theory (McCarthy and Prince 1995), we argue that a constraint-based approach can provide a better account of the phenomenon.

Researches on perception have, in recent years, been increasingly popular as a means of accounting for cross-linguistic sound patterns (Ohala, 1992; Hemming, 1995; Jun, 1995; Steriade, 1997 among others). In loanword phonology, Silverman(1990, 1992) argues that words from a source language are scanned through the perceptual level and that the features perceived by a speaker are stored in the input to be processed according to his/her native language's phonological constraints. The purpose of this paper is to test the validity of Silverman's proposal by examining the correlation between perception and production of Korean learners of English. We specifically focussed on perception and production of stop release by contrasting English loanwords with English words loarned through education to see if there were any significant differences. The results showed that there was no substantive correlation between the Korean speakers' perception of the loanwords pronounced by English speakers and their own production of those words. In the case of English words, however, the Korean speakers' production was closely related with their perception, although some inter-speaker variations were observed. With Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolenksy, 1993) as a theoretical framework of analysis, it was shown that the theory is a useful means of implementing a phonetics-phonology interface and relating perceptual processes with speech production. Specifically, under the assumption that loanwords with [t]~[t/sup h/] alternation (e.g.,'cut') are originally borrowed into Korean as two different input forms, all the alternations could be straightforwardly accounted for in terms of a unified ranking of constraints.

Linking and Intrusive r in English a Correspondence Account

Kang, Seok Keun 대한언어학회 1998 언어학 Vol.6 No.2

Kang, Seok-keun. 1998. Linking and Intrusive r in English: a Correspondence Account. Linguistics, 6-2, 243-262. The purpose of this paper is to reconsider linking and intrusive r in English. Accounting for the phenomenon within the framework of Correspondence Theory (McCarthy and Prince 1993, 1995), I show that linking and intrusive r can be interpreted as glide formation, and that once given this assumption, the phenomenon can be accounted for in a unified, satisfactory way in terms of a ranking of constraints.
