The speech recognition on long vowels are carried out by electric circuits. A level compressor is able to transform the wave of voice to serial pulses. The obtained pulses have informations to distinguish the vowels. The sampling of the pulses is carried out by the register which picks up a series of serial signals in a pitch of a vowel as an unit. The timing control pulses such as sampling pulses are generated by using peak pulses in the speech wave. The parallel data in the register assign the phonetic symbol by means of the decision making circuit which carries out the IF-THEN rule.

There are some similar phonological properties shared by different languages. The phenomenon of vowel length is just one of them which shows distinctive futures. In some languages long vowels serve to differentiate meanings. In that case the phonological context it creates is important and so it has to be incorporated into the phonemic inventory of the language, otherwise there will be misunderstanding. In this paper I will try to explain the Turkish vowel system as well as the Korean, and then to show how long vowels take their forms in Turkish and Korean.

본 연구는 우리말 장단모음의 특성을 분석하는 것을 목표로 한다. 쓰여져 있는 문장에서 장단 모음을 구별할 줄 사람들 중 남자 3명을 선정하여 7개의 모음(/ㅣ, ㅐ, ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅗ, ㅜ, ㅡ/)을 발음하게 한 후, 각 장단 모음 쌍의 길이, 피치, 음가를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 장단모음이 사라졌다는 일부 주장과는 달리 모든 화자에게서 통계학적으로 유의한 길이의 차이를 관찰하였으며 대부분의 경우에 피치와 음가(F2)도 유의한 차이가 남을 발견하였다. 그러나 이 관찰된 음가의 차이는 모음 자체의 음가의 차이가 아니라 다음에 따라오는 조사의 모음의 영향으로 인한 주변동화현상(contextual assimilation)에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 즉, 장모음은 길이가 긴 까닭에 자신의 음가를 충분히 실현한 반면 단모음은 다음에 나오는 모음의 음가의 영향을 강하게 받는 것으로 나타났다.

When English monosyllabic words are adapted to the Korean language, the loanwords tend to carry extra syllables. The purpose of this paper is to find the syllable augmentation conditions in loanword adaptation and further to provide an algorithm to predict the syllable numbers of English monosylabic loanwords. Three syllable augmentation conditions are found as follows: 1) the existence of diphthong, 2) the existence of consonant clusters, and 3) the quality of the final consonant (and the preceding vowel). Based on these three conditions, an algorithm to predict the syllable number of English monosyllabic loanwords are proposed as three rules applied iteratively with ordering. In addition, the applications of the algorithm to data are given.
