In this article, we compared the tone systems with its realization, that is pitch pattern various tonological phenomena of Uljin Dialect of Gyeongbuk Province.
For the dscription of tone systems in phonological level, we employed markedness theory and generative tonology.
In the underlying level, Uljin dialect are three tone systems which consist of one unmarked tone, and two marked tones (cheuk-sheongs). The unmarked tone is H (the plain tone) and two marked tones are M (the phonetically simple tone), and H (the phonetically complex tone).
The plain tone H permits the opposition of H and M in the following syllable. And the marked tones are neutralized as M in the environment of 'H --'. Any tone (H, M or H ) is neutralized as M in the environment of '{M, H} -'.
The relation between three traditional tones and three underlying tones is as is the following table.
Because of the neutralization effect. the kinds of tone - connection, tonological patterns, are extremely restricted in a prosodic word. Thus we can find three tonological patterns - phyeong - cheuk pattern, complex tone pattern H1M"', geosheong pattern 'M1' and shangsheong pattern 'H' in Uljin dialect.
The tonological patterns of the two dialects are
