“…In Korean monosyllabic hypocoristics, vowel rounding also occurs. In female Korean speakers' Aegyo-ful reading tasks, Kim (2020) reports vowel rounding as a phonological alternation. Jang (2020c) discovers a negative association between the number of rounded vowels to syllables and speed, as well as average power of Pokémon.…”

In this paper, I investigate the formation and phonological alternations of Korean monosyllabic hypocoristics that are used without a vocative marker. Korean monosyllabic hypocoristics are the result of truncation and merging. The study showed that the inclination to keep the second syllable is more pronounced in truncated forms. The most common type of merging is ‘onset of 1st syllable + rhyme of 2nd syllable’. This illustrates the symmetrical base anchoring template, in which the template’s edges are anchored to the base’s right and left edges. The phonological alternations that Korean monosyllabic hypocoristics go through include tensification of obstruents, stopping of plain fricative or affricate, nasal velarization, nasal insertion, vowel rounding, vowel simplification, and palatal glide insertion before a vowel. Consonantal alternations over vocalic alternations seem to be preferred. All of the segmental alternations are present in the Aegyo speech register.

Examination of Korean stop perception in Quebec French listeners through the lens of assimilation overlap

This study assessed the perceptual assimilation model (PAM) predictions about assimilation types and discrimination performance through the lens of assimilation overlap in Quebec French listeners' perception of nine non-native Korean stop consonants. The consonants varied in voicing (fortis, lenis, and aspirated) and place of articulation (labials, coronals, and velars). In the identification experiment, the Korean three-way voicing contrasts were found to undergo an assimilation overlap to correspond to the French two-way equivalent contrasts across places of articulation. In the discrimination experiment, assimilation overlap tended to hinder detection of non-native speech distinctions, which is in line with the PAM-based suggestion.

Production and perception of Korean word-initial stops from a sound change perspective

Based on spontaneous speech data collected in 2020, this study examined the production and perception of Korean lenis, aspirated, and fortis stops. Unlike the controlled experiments of previous studies, lenis and aspirated stops of males in their 30s were not distinguished by voice onset time (VOT) in spontaneous speech. Perceptual experiments were conducted on young females, the leaders of language change. F0 was found to serve as the primary cue for the perception of lenis stops, and then VOT distinguished the aspirated and fortis stops. The fact that the sounds were always perceived as lenis stops when F0 was low, irrespective of whether VOT was short or long, showed that F0 plays an absolute role in the perception of lenis stops. However, in some cases the aspirated and lenis stops were distinguished only by VOT, which does not happen in production. In terms of sound change, disagreement between production and perception systems occurs when sound change is in progress. In particular, when production change precedes perception change, it indicates that the sound change is in its latter stages. Young females still maintain the previous system in perception because the distinction of lenis and aspirated stops by VOT was valid in their parents' generation. In other words, VOT is still used for perception to communicate with other groups.
