La, Ki-Yun(1994). A Study on English and Korean Glides. Linguistics, Vol. 2. The purpose of this paper is (i) to suggest that through the universal definition of glides, English glides are divided into onglides and offglides, and their functions and underlying representations are different according to their positions in English syllable structure, (ii) to propose that Korean glides are only onglides, but their underlying and phonetic representation are different in Korean syllable structure, and (iii) to justify the validity of the above second proposal through the discussion of Korean phonological phenomena related to glides. Especially, in the discussion of English and Korean syllable structure, the framework of Levin(1985) is employed for the skeleton tier and the zero feature specification of Hyman(1985) for the underlying representation of glides.
