Jeong, Jinhee. (2017). The Element-based Approach to Phonological Phenomena of Palatalization in Korean. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 25(1), 163-181. This study aims to elaborate Korean palatalization by employing Element Theory. Palatalization refers to the process of sound change that results in spreading of element ｜I｜. Vowel i/j(｜I｜) trigger the change in which an alveolar｜I｜changes into a palatal consonant ｜I｜, which is a sort of assimilation. In modern Korean, [tʃi] which is the collocation between onset｜I｜and vowel｜I｜is possible, but [tʃja], [tʃjə], or [tʃjo] are not. This is because of OCP which avoids the collision of onset｜I｜and glide ｜I｜. In other words, strong narrowing of glide｜I｜is similar to properties of onset. In this sense, this study examines palatalization by employing element ｜I｜in a precise and logical way. |
