Description

This paper attempts to postulate a set of rules which are to predict phonetic patterns of a dialect of Taegu Korean in the framework of generative phonology.<BR>The scope of the paper is confined to the accent of nouns including compounds with two constituents, and the conjugation and accentuation of verbs and adjectives.<BR>Some of the main points are described as follows:<BR>(1) It is shown that six items of difficulties occur if the treatment of this dialect is based on the view that the bearer of an abstract accent is a mora rather than a syllable, and that if the bearer of accent is assumed to be a syllable rather than a mora, those difficulties can be solved.<BR>(2) A set of rules which apply at the latest stage of the derivation are introduced to assign actual prosodic patterns.<BR>(3) The same set of rules predict accentuation of nouns with an enclitic, of denominal compound nouns, and of attributive forms of verbs and adjectives followed by a noun.<BR>(4) The structure of certain kinds of compounds can be specified through phonological rules postulated in this paper.<BR>(5) Almost all the complicated conjugated forms, considering accent, can be derived by applying a set of ordered phonological rules to a single underlying stem and with affixes.<BR>(6) All the rules given in this paper are ordered rules.
