일본어외래어의 어말장음표기에 대한 연구

Abstract

This paper analyzes facts by using prime Formant in Flemming(1995)’s ‘Dispersion Theory’ whish also used as prime index in phonetics related with notation of final /i/ and english’s diphthong in Japanese loanwords. The ranking to explanin phenomenon that diphthong appeared in the finals becames a long vowels, functioned as Ident(F1) which remain a character as a Formant1 of phonetic in english, Ident(F1) which prohibit a high-vowel continuation and Spread-Right(Vowel height) explain the phenomenon that reversion of after vowel to preceding vowel’s phonetics feature. And by assume this as a core constraint, can get a constraint ranking like below. And about the phenomenon - words ended as lax vowel in english replaced to long-vowel in japanese loanwords - assume that a lax vowel /i/ in english has a tense in Japanese, which can appears as long-vowel in finals because there is no circumstance factor hinder the tense and makes it as Align-Right(+ten, wd) can explain successfully. And a error about excessive generating of mora arised by Align-Right(+ten, wd) was prevented by to being *σμμμ as higher constraint. Based on this, notation of final long-vowel of loanwords can has constraint ranking. Ident(F), *σμμμ, OCP(+high), Spread-Right(Vowel height) ≫ Ident(Vowel height), Align-Right (+ten, wd) ≫ *Nbranch Of course this cannot be applied when it doesn’t appear as long-vowel exceptionally. But as mentioned above before, the case that final /i/ is not marked as long-vowel is very rare. So to conclude, this will be effective ranking in general situation..
