한국어의 사동문과 피동문은 주로 사동사와 피동사에 의하여 실현된다. 한국어 통사론에서 특이한 점은 피동문과 사동문이 동일한 형태를 취함으로써 중의성이 있는 문장이 등장한다는 점이다. 피동사와 사동사는 형용사 및 동사 어간에 피동접미사가 불어 파생된다. 이러한 사동사와 피동사의 파생에서 특이한 사항은 형용사에 사동접미사가 불어서 사동사가 구성된다는 점과 자동사에 피동접미사가 불어 피동사가 구성된다는 점이다. 사동사와 피동사가 갖는 이러한 통사적 형태적 특성이 경상도 말에서 어떠한 운율적 특징을 가지고 나타나는지를 살펴보는 것이 이 논문의 목적이다. 부산에서 태어나고 자란 20대 중반의 학생 5명에게 5쌍의 피사동문을 읽게 하여 그 결과를 살펴보았다. 경상도말의 사동사는 H+H(M)+L의 성조를 보이고 피동사는 M+H+L의 성조를 보인다. 이러한 특성과 아울러 정상도 말의 피동접미사는 사동접미사에 비하여 상대적으로 길이가 길다. 이 같은 특징은 피동사는 사동사에 피동접미가 붙은 것이라고 하여 피동과 사동을 하나로 묶어 설명하는 주장을 뒷받침한다. 그리고 동일한 형태를 보이는 문장의 중의성이 운율에 의해 해소된다는 점이 흥미롭다. 통시적으로는 중세국어에서 현대국어로의 성조변화, 공시적으로는 서울말과 경상도 말의 피사동이 보이는 체계적 대응을 보이는지는 앞으로의 연구과제다.

The aim of this paper is to show what are the sociolinguistic variables of length loss in Seoul dialect. 350 people were inquired to pronunce 40words. Among the informants, 152 were male, and198 were female. In terms of their age, 49 were twenties, 70 were thirties, 69 were forties, 71 were fifties, and 91 were above sixties. According to our statistics, 18 words show sociolinguistic variation by age, and sex was not a variable. So we can conclude that Seoul dialect is undergoing length loss by age at least. But we need to enlarge the number of words and informants and we also need to adopt other variables.

Although Standard Korean is based on Seoul Korean, the phonetic realization of syllable codas in Seoul Korean has not been satisfactorily investigated. This paper aims to study how Seoul speakers pronounce syllable codas in certain phonetic contexts and what pronunciation they prefer among variants. It is noted that the realization of a syllable coda is different word by word and generation by generation. It is also noted that the syllable coda of a word is realized differently depending on the following vowel. And we discussed how the Principles of Standard Korean Pronunciation should be revised in the future, based on the results of this study.

This research is for finding prototypes and characteristics of intonation found in ${\ulcorner}$-a/e, $t{\int}ijo$<${\lrcorner}$ and ${\ulcorner}$p/simnida${\lrcorner}$ among modern Korean predicate statements by constructing spoken corpus based on the current radio broadcast. So the result of the study is as follows. : (1) The construction of the balanced spoken corpus and the standard for boundary determination of rhythm are needed for the intonation model of speech synthesis. (2) Korean intonation units have the splited word tone which includes the nuclear tone and the pre-nuclear tone makes unclear tone more detailed. (3) I made man and woman intonation models individually through t-test of SPSS. (4) The standard intonation model is devided '-ajo'type and '-nida'type

Earlier studies reported that the /o/ and /u/ phonemes of Seoul Korean were currently merging in the F1/F2 space. However, studies on perception tests have shown that rates of correctness were high, even in cases where the two vowels overlapped. This study explores whether there is another acoustic parameter that differentiates /o/ from /u/, besides the F1/F2 contrast. Seventy-five native speakers of Seoul Korean, born between 1953 and 1999, participated in a production test. The data collected were analyzed in terms of F1 and F2, H1-H2, and F0. The result shows that the /o/ and /u/ of female speakers almost overlap in the F1/F2 space for all ages, while H1-H2 values are significantly different between the two vowels regardless of age. On the other hand, the /o/ and /u/ of male speakers are largely well separated in the F1/F2 space, while the H1-H2 values between the two vowels are very close at all ages. F0 effect is relatively small for both male and female speakers, even though there is a statistically significant difference. The result of this study provides evidence that female speakers use phonation differences to distinguish /o/ from /u/, and that the F1/F2 contrast has been replaced by H1-H2 values.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the intonation features of the last two syllables of rhythmic units, with the exception of the sentence final unit, in the Seoul dialect of Korean. The Model 5500 Sona-graph was used to measure the pitch and duration of the target syllables. There are two classes of materials. One class was designed to determine the intonation of rhythmic units in a natural situation and the other to investigate the intonation of rhythmic units in an artificial situation, in which speakers were asked to read the materials pausing only at the marked boundaries, with a view to identifying the intonation of Seoul dialect more clearly. The findings of this investigation are as follows: (1) Korean averages an 11% rising intonation between the two syllables at the end of a rhythmic unit. (2) The rising rate between the final two syllables' pitch values at the subject rhythmic unit is generally higher than those at other units in a sentence and it seems to be meaningful syntactically. (3) Before a boundary the rhythmic units undergo 'pre-lowering', in which the pitch gradually lowers from the first syllable to the penultimate. (4) Every syllable in each rhythmic unit tends to lengthen when speakers read the materials with a pause between units and the tendency is most salient at the final syllable before a boundary.

이 논문은 음향 분석기를 이용하여 한국어의 단순모음 8개를 음향 음성학적으로 분석하고 그 결과를, 이 현복의 1971년 논문 "현대 서울말의 모음 음가"에서 기분 모음을 기준으로 하여 기술한 단순 모음의 소리값과 비교하는 데어 목적이 있다. 특히, 한국어의 모음 1)길고 세게 날 때, 2)짧고 세게 날 때, 그리고 3) 여리게 날 때의 세가지 환경에 따라 변이음의 음가가 달리 나타난다는 이 현복의 이론을 음향 음성학적으로 확인해 보는 것이 연구를 하는 주요 관심사이다. 이 실험에 사용된 자료는 위에 말한 이 현복의 논문과 "한국어 음성학"(김선기, 1937, 1971; 영문)에 제시된 낱말로 이루어져 있으며, 이를 스웨덴에 유학중인 지 민제가 자신의 목소리로 직접 녹음하여 위메오 대한 음성학과의 음향 음성학 실험실에서 음향분석기로 분석한 다음, 각 모음의 제1 및 제2포인트를 측정하여 리를 토대로 음향도를 만들었다. 이 실험 결과는 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. : 1)그림 2,3과 포먼트 표에서 보인 바와 같이, 모음 /이, 에, 오, 으/는 각각 이 현복의 주장대로 환경에 따라 세 개의 분명히 다른 음가를 나타내고 있다. 2) 한편 모음 /애, 아, 우, 어/는 모음의 길이에 따라 다만 두 종류의 음가 변동이 나타날 뿐이며 강세의 유무에 따른 음가 차이는 드러나지 않았다. 3) 이 현복의 주장대로 모음 /에/와 /애/mss 음가의 차이가 크지 않으므로 음운 대립이 무디어질 수 있음을 이번 실험 결과로 확인 하였다. 특히 강세가 없는 /에/는 강세가 있는 /애/와 소리값이 거의 같았다. 4) 이 현복은 표준말에서 /어/의 음가가 세대에 따라 다르며, 안정된 세대의 말씨에서는 /어:/가 /어/에 비해 높고 중앙화한 소리값을 지닌다는 주장을 하였다. 그러나 이 실험 연구에서는 녹음한 이가 젊은 세대이어서 인지 그러한 현상이 나타나지 않았고, 다만 /어:/는 /어/보다 높이만이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 5) 이번 실험 연구에서 모음의 소리값이 장단과 강세에 따라 달라진다는 이 현복의 주장이 대체로 증명된 셈이나, 종합적이고 확고한 결론을 내리려면 좀 더 광범한 실험 연구가 필요하다고 본다. 특히 안정된 세대의 말씨를 직접 녹음하여 음향 음성학적으로 분석함이 필요하다.

The purpose of the this study is to observe the effects of healthy adults' age on temporal features of speech and identify which could differentiate older and young adults. We examined speech rates(i.e., overall speaking rate, articulation rate), occurrence of pause, and duration of pause per utterance by utilizing the National Institute of Korean Language's open corpus. We selected a total of 30 healthy adults (10 young, 10 middle-aged, and 10 older adults) in this study. There were significant differences among the groups in the overall speaking rate, articulation rate, total occurrence of pause, the occurrence of pause between syntactic words, total duration of pause, and duration of pause between syntactic words. The older and middle-aged adults showed slower speech rates and longer and more frequent pause than young adults. But there were no significant differences among the three groups in terms of pause within syntactic word. The overall speaking rate significantly differentiated older adults from young adults. These findings suggested that the effect of speakers' age was reflected in gradual changes in the temporal features of their speech.

This study aimed to compare the prosodic characteristics of North Korean defectors and South Koreans in three types of sentences (declarative, interrogative, and negative) in two reading tasks (short and dialogue) through acoustic analysis and auditory-perceptual evaluation. In addition, this study examined the relationship between the auditory-perceptual evaluation scores and self-assessment questionnaires on intonation for North Korean defectors. The participants were 15 North Korean defectors and 15 Korean speakers with standard Seoul accents. For statistical analysis, three-way mixed ANOVA and multivariate analysis were performed within the three types of sentences in the reading tasks through acoustic analysis and the Mann-Whitney U Test for auditory-perceptual evaluation. Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficients were also used to identify the correlations between the results of the self-assessment questionnaire on intonation and the auditory-perceptual evaluation. The North Korean defectors were found to have a significantly lower pitch range and auditory-perceptual evaluation score than South Koreans in reading tasks. Moreover, there was a significant correlation between their auditory-perceptual evaluations and self-assessment questionnaires on intonation. The study findings suggest that North Korean defectors, who face many challenges with intonation, showed a tendency to think that their intonation differed from the standard Korean intonation and showed better auditory evaluation results for interrogative sentences.
