  1. Epenthetic ‘S’ in Korean Morphology And aspirated and reinforced consonants Daniel Rasband Brigham Young University

  2. Korean Assimilation

  3. Hunminjeongeum (訓民正音)

  4. Modern Hangul (한글)

  5. What is Sai-sios? • Noun-binding • Reinforcing • /ㅅ/ = /s/ = ? • /nn/ before high front vowel • /d/ before other vowels • -> /kk/, /pp/, /tt/, /ss/ before the respective consonant

  6. Aspirated and Tensed Consonants

  7. Two Sides Standard Orthography Nonstandard Forms • Sai-sios should not be used before aspirated consonants or tensed consonants. • The National Institute of the Korean Language • No (significant) Pronunciation Change • Sai-sios not explicit in other words (where the pronunciation does change). • Misspellings • Analogy • Valid Morpheme (has a morpho-semantic function and therefore there is no need to omit it from standardized spellings)

  8. Methodology • Morphological Analysis of Compound Words • Analysis of Corpus Data • Great Dictionary of Standard Korean (『표준국어대사전』) • Malmungchi • Google, Naver, Daum

  9. Analysis • 24 words from each group • Morphological Parse • Internet search • Compare

  10. Words

  11. Words continued…

  12. Percentages

  13. Conclusions • Morphological parse shows that the words with aspirated and tensed consonants are of the same category morpho-semantically as the words with the sai-sios. • Words with the aspirated and tensed consonants very often “misspelled” by native Korean speakers • There is something more to the sai-sios than just a pronunciation change.

  14. Further Work • Speech Corpora (Phonetic Analysis) • Other Problems with the Epenthetic ‘S' • More Corpora • Better Querying Functionality
