자질면의 통합과 자질계층 이론 = Plane Conflation and Feature Geometry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ko, Young-jin(1994). Plane Conflation and Feature Geometry. Linguistics vol. 2. We can explicitly analyse phonological processes by Feature Geometry(FG). FG has some problems, however, to analyse phonological processes, concerning adjacent consonants and vowels. It cannot classify consonants and vowels as a natural class. It does not have any features to classify them. Try to solve such a problem, Clements(1989, 1991) suggests the unification of the features of consonants and vowels. Her suggestion solves the problem, but ignores the hierarchical difference between Consonant and Vowel place node in FG. To solve the problem, this paper suggests plane conflation of consonant and vowel place plane. Second, it divides phonological processes into two types of phonological processes such as linear and nonlinear. Third, conflates consonants and vowels place planes when the phonological process is linear. Finally, proves the suggested method by some Korean phonological processes.
