/n/-insertion in native Korean and Sino-Korean revisited

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

  Korean /n/-insertion is reanalyzed in this paper: e.g. /n？c-y？l？m/ [n？nny？r？m] ‘late summer’ in native Korean and /sik+yoŋ+yu/ [sikyoŋnyu] ‘cooking oil’ in Sino-Korean. There are two critical problems for the analysis of this phenomenon. First, /n/ is not an unmarked consonant in Korean. /t/ is reserved as an unmarked consonant (Kim 1987). Second, /n/-insertion is observed between a consonant and y in both native Korean and Sino-Korean. However, as native Korean and Sino-Korean have different morphology, it has been difficult to analyze the two sublexical aspects of /n/-insertion in a uniform way. For example, the insightful analyses of native Korean /n/-insertion (Kang 1992, Han 1994b, and Cho 1995a) equipped with the native Korean morphology-based Prosodic Word Formation, do not work in Sino- Korean /n/-insertion. This is because Sino-Korean has totally different morphology. This paper tries to address these problems and argues that a uniform analysis of the two sublexical aspects of /n/-insertion is possible in the framework of Optimality Theory.
