This paper aims to contrast phonology of Korean and Thai in terms of language universality. Considering consonants, both languages having 21 typologically most plausible consonants display high universality in the number of consonants. However, Thai shows higher universality in regards to their substance, i.e. it differs from Korean when it comes to the structure of plosives and fricatives. Both Korean and Thai show similarities regarding the plosives due to the fact that both languages possess three contrastive consonants. However, the Thai plosives consist of plain voiced, plain voiceless and aspirated voiceless sounds that have higher universality than the Korean plosives which are plain voiced, plain voiceless and aspirated voiceless. In case of vowels, both Korean with its 10 vowels and Thai with its 9 vowels show lower universality when it comes to the total number of vowels. However, all of those vowels belong to the list of most plausible vowels which makes their universality higher in substance. In respect of syllable structure, Korean with its CVC type shows a moderately complex structure while Thai with its CCVC type has a complex structure. The coda may consist of only one consonant in each language but onset is composed of one consonant in Korean, and two consonants in Thai. The contrastive study of similarities and differences between Korean and Thai in terms of phonology will help not only understand the two languages but also provide useful information for increasing the efficacy of Korean language education for Thai learners of Korean whose number is rapidly increasing.

The purpose of this work is to examine the voice onset times (VOTs) of the three types of plosives from the Seoul Corpus male speakers in their twenties. In addition, the factors known to affect VOTs were analyzed, including the place and manner of articulation, speakers, location in words, type of following vowels and speech rates calculated from the three consecutive words. Much of the findings agreed with those from earlier studies on Korean and other languages and new discoveries were made.

This study tests the hypothesis that the voiced-voiceless distinction is influenced by the relationship between acoustics and perception. Production and perception tests are conducted with temporal cues in different environments(CV, VCV, VC). The result showed that acoustic cues indicating significant difference between voiceless/voiced plosives do not behave just as do in perception. The result also showed that there existed an asymmetry between acoustics and perception.

본 논문의 목적은 자연발화 음성 코퍼스를 대상으로 영어 무성 파열음 [p, t, k]과 한국어 격음 파열음 [p^h, t^h, k^h]의 조음위치 결정에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 살펴보는 것이다. 프랏 스크립트를 이용하여 요인들은 자동 추출하였고, 판별분석을 통해 요인의 수를 점차 증가시켜가면서 무성 파열음의 예측 정확도를 계산하였다. 분석에 사용된 요인들은 개방파열, 파열 후 기식음과 모음 시작 부분의 운동량과 스펙트럼 기울기, 폐쇄구간과 VOT, 단어와 발화 내 위치, 마지막으로 직후 모음의 종류 등이었다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 요인의 수가 다섯 개까지 증가하는 경우 예측정확도가 최대로 증가하여 영어는 74.6%, 한국어는 66.4%를 나타내었다. 그러나 사실상의 최대값에 도달하는 데는 네 개의 요인으로도 충분하였고, 이들은 개방파열과 직후 모음의 운동량과 스펙트럼 기울기, 폐쇄구간과 VOT였다. 이는 무성파열음의 조음위치가 자신의 내부 요인들과 직후 모음의 영향을 동시에 받는다는 것을 의미한다고 볼 수 있다.

In the literature on the tense consonants in Korean, it has been proposed that this consonant is underlyingly represented by a single consonant (the singleton hypothesis) and that it is represented by a sequence of two lenis consonants (the geminate hypothesis). One piece of the empirical evidence supporting the geminate hypothesis is that the closure duration of tense consonants in intervocalic position is more than twice as long in comparison with their lenis counterparts. In this paper, we report on the closure duration of three types of plosives in various phonotactically permitted contexts in Korean. The results of the measurement show that the duration of the tense consonants in post-sonorant contexts is reduced by a third in comparison with that of the intervocalic ones. These temporal differences suggest that the measurement of closure durations in intervocalic position alone is not sufficient to sustain the geminate hypothesis.

본 연구는 중국인 학습자의 한국어 파열음 (/ㄲㄱㅋㄸㄷㅌㅃㅂㅍ/) 발음의 VOT값이 (1) 한국에 거주하며 한국어를 배운 기간에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지 (2) 유의미 단어와 무의미 단어에 따라 달라지는지 (3) 한국인의 이해도와 연관이 있는지를 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다, 본 연구를 위하여 18명의 중국인 화자들의 한국어 파열음 발음은 음성프로그램으로 분석되었고, 이후 중국인 화자가 발화한 파열음을 한국인 화자가 인지 가능한지 평가하여 이 결과와 VOT값을 비교하여 보았다. 본 실험에 참여한 중국인 화자들의 한국어 VOT값의 평균을 보면, 경음은 한국인 화자들의 VOT값과 큰 차이가 없었으나, 모국어의 영향으로 평음은 한국인 보다 더 짧아, 경음에 가깝게 발음한다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 격음의 VOT도 한국인 보다 더 짧다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한국에 거주한 시기와 중국어 화자의 한국어 파열음 VOT값의 관계에서는, 중국인 화자의 한국어 발음은 거주 기간이 길어지고 한국어 학습양이 많아져도 쉽게 수정되지 않는 것으로 나타났으며 유의미 단어와 무의미 단어의 차이도 유의미하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Background and Objectives The compensatory articulation not only influences general speech intelligibility, but also prevents precise assessment of the velopharyngeal function. This study was performed to investigate frequently affected phonemes, prevalence and the characteristics of compensatory articulation in the patients with cleft palate having velopharyngeal insufficiency. Material and Method An archival review was taken on 103 cleft palate subjects. Their age ranged from 2.6 to 63 years (mean age of 9.8 years). They were grouped into two : preschool group (n=71) and older patient group (n=32). The prevalence and patterns of compensatory articulation were examined on oral high pressure consonants such as plosives, fricatives and affricates. Results : Compensatory errors were observed in $49.5\%$ of the subjects and were mostly glottal stops with the exception of 4cases who had pharyngeal fricatives in addition to glottal stops. The most frequently substituted phonemes were velar plosives and tense sound. There was no significant difference of prevalence in both groups. However, errors for bilabial and alveolar plosives were more frequently observed in preschool group. Conclusion High prevalence of compensatory articulation observed in both preschool and older age group indicates that their articulation errors tend to remain unless appropriate speech therapy is provided. To improve speech intelligibility of the patients with cleft palate having velopharyngeal insufficiency, it is advisable to address and correct the compensatory articulation errors in their earlier ages.

This study aims to contrast phonological characteristics of Korean and Turkish in terms of language universality. Considering consonants, both languages have the same number of consonants (21), which is the most typologically plausible structure of consonants. Thus, it can be said that they display high universality in the number of consonants. However, Turkish shows higher universality in regards to their substance, i.e., it differs from Korean when it comes to the structure of plosives and affricates. Turkish has two contrastive consonants, i.e., voiced and voiceless. However, the Korean plosives and affricates consist of neutral, tense and aspirate voiceless. In the case of vowels, both Korean with 10 vowels and Turkish with 8 vowels show lower universality. Yet, all of those vowels belong to the list of the most plausible vowels which makes their universality higher in substance. In respect of the syllable structure, Korean with its (C)V(C) type shows a moderately complex structure while Turkish with its (C)V(C)(C) type has a complex structure. The coda may consist of two consonants in Turkish while only one consonant is possible in Korean. However, onset is composed of one consonant in both languages. The contrastive study of similarities and differences between Korean and Turkish in terms of phonological characteristics will help not only understand the two languages but also provide useful information to increase the efficacy of Korean language education for Turkish learners of Korean, whose number is rapidly increasing.
