ÃÊ·Ï Lee, Eunmi & Ko, Hoonjoo. (2022). An OT analysis of vowel hiatus in the Jeju dialect. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 30(4), 211-236. This study is about the vowel hiatus resolutions resulting from suffixation in the Jeju dialect. To avoid the vowel hiatus, glide formation, glide insertion, and vowel deletion are adopted in the Jeju dialect. Glide insertion occurs at the morpheme boundary to break up the vowel sequence. The inserted segment is chosen depending on the feature of the stem final vowel. Glide insertion is not typical in standard Korean and other dialects in Korea but it is often spoken in a formal speech in the Jeju dialect. Glide formation also takes place in casual speech. Glide formation is the process where one of the vowels is substituted for the corresponding glide - the high vowel becomes [y] and the back round vowel becomes [w] at the morpheme boundary. This is where it is suppressed due to the Obligatory Contour Principle (Leben, 1973) related to the Consonant Glide (CG) cluster, and the lack of a high feature, required for glide formation. In each case, a deletion strategy is adopted, but which vowel is deleted between V1 and V2 is determined by both the sonority of the vowel and morphological factors such as the stem or suffix. We adopt constraints and their ranking for the analysis within the framework of Optimality Theory (OT). As all of the strategies are for the one goal - to avoid vowel hiatus, we provide a single constraint ranking that can explain various cases of vowel hiatus resolutions in the Jeju dialect.
