영어음절의 複線的 樣相 = Non-linear Aspects in the English Syllable

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this thesis to show that the non-linear mode of representation in the English syllable has a superiority over the linear one in many ways.
In traditional phonology suprasegmental features are treated as if they were segmental ones. As the phonological phenomena such as those of suprasegmentals that could not be explained within the framework of linear phonology were studied, many phonologists began to realize the fact that the suprasegmental level is separated from the segmental one and regarded as an independent tier. As a result, this thesis analyzes the English syllable within the autosegmental framework.
This thesis shows that the segments within an English syllable are not linearly but hierarchically organized, and that nucleus and coda constitute a rhyme that acts as a unit. In addition to that, it is maintained that the onset can have three consonants as a maximum consonant cluster, the nucleus, one short vowel or the combination of a short vowel and a glide, and the coda, three consonants as the maximum.
