In this paper, a standardized phonological rule should be embodied for all people who want to use Hangul beyond nationality. This researcher suggested a phonological process protocol in unicode for the purpose of developing a computer system-based program as one of methods to pronounce Hangul correctly. First of all, to solve a problem of standardizing Hangul pronunciation, it is necessary to develop a phonological process system. In other words, when a mobile phone or a keyboard is used, inputted strings should be changed exactly by an automatic device made according to the phonological rule. For this, a phonological process table is the most important and unicode which digitalizes Hangul is the most effective. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to complete a phonological process table, suggest an algorithm by the table, and develop a computer program pursuing correct Hangul pronunciation. For the methodology of this study, the features of unicode was used to solve a problem of coding each syllable by phonemes after strings were inputted from the phonological process program. This study suggested a protocol that sounds of inputted strings were automatically changed via recombination using a phonological process table. The ultimate purpose of the study was to help pronounce Hangul correctly according to the pronunciation rule.

Hearing impairment children possess poor underlying perceptual knowledge of the sound system and show delayed development of segmental organization of that system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between phonological awareness ability and word identification ability in hearing impaired children. 14 children with moderately severe hearing loss participated in this study. All tasks were individually administered. Phonological awareness tests consisted of syllable blending, syllable segmentation, syllable deletion, body-coda discrimination, phoneme blending, phoneme segmentation and phoneme deletion. Close-set Monosyllabic Words(12 items) and lists 1 and 2 of open-set Monosyllabic Words in EARS-K were examined for word identification. Results of this study were as follows: First, from the phonological awareness task, the close-set word identification showed a high positive correlation with the coda discrimination, phoneme blending and phoneme deletion. The open-set word identification showed a high positive correlation with phoneme blending, phoneme deletion and phoneme segmentation. Second, from the level of phonological awareness, the close-set word identification showed a high positive correlation with the level of body-coda awareness and phoneme awareness while the open-set word identification showed a high positive correlation only with the level of phoneme awareness.

In many cases, a dialogue system can't extract the correct analysis information of a user's spoken utterance, because of its own ungrammatical components. Therefore, in order to perform a correct before it performs the syntactic processing. In this paper, we use a real dialogue corpus and classify these ungrammatical errors as 4 categories : phonological, syntactic, semantic errors that consist of speech reparis and inversions, and propose an algorithm to detect and correct the errors. In short, this paper proposes a method to detect and correct the speech repairs and inversions that are classified as the phonological and syntactic errors to implement a robust dialogue system. And, through the test of real dialogue data, this paper shows an efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

This study was designed to evaluate the phonological characteristics in profound hearing-impaired children. 10 males and 10 females participated in this study and all were prelingually hearing impaired. 7 children were educated at deaf school and 13 children at general elementary school with private clinic. Their hearing levels were more than 95dB HL and did not appear any wave by ABR. The results can be summarized as following: The articulation accuracy of hearing impaired children was 54.19% and most distinguished phonological patterns of the hearing impaired children were alveolarization and stop assimilation. The accurate articulation phonation was significantly different from education system between deaf school and general school. The error articulation degrees in profound hearing impaired children at general school seemed meaningfully smaller than those in hearing impaired children at deaf school.

This paper investigated the phoneme distribution and phonological processes of orthographic and pronounced phrasal words in light of syllable structure in the Seoul Corpus in order to provide linguists and phoneticians with a clearer understanding of the Korean language system. To achieve the goal, the phrasal words were extracted from the transcribed label scripts of the Seoul Corpus using Praat. Following this, the onsets, peaks, codas and syllable types of the phrasal words were analyzed using an R script. Results revealed that k0 was most frequently used as an onset in both orthographic and pronounced phrasal words. Also, aa was the most favored vowel in the Korean syllable peak with fewer phonological processes in its pronounced form. The total proportion of all diphthongs according to the frequency of the peaks in the orthographic phrasal words was 8.8%, which was almost double those found in the pronounced phrasal words. For the codas, nn accounted for 34.4% of the total pronounced phrasal words and was the varied form. From syllable type classification of the Corpus, CV appeared to be the most frequent type followed by CVC, V, and VC from the orthographic forms. Overall, the onsets were more prevalent in the pronunciation more than the codas. From the results, this paper concluded that an analysis of phoneme distribution and phonological processes in light of syllable structure can contribute greatly to the understanding of the phonology of spoken Korean.

영어를 제2언어로 사용하는 한국인을 대상으로 이중언어의 어휘접근이 음운 정보와 관련하여 어떻게 일어나는지를 알아보았다. 이중언어를 처리할 매에 양 언어의 음운적 지식이 동시에 활성화된다는 비선택적 가설과 한 언어의 음운적 지식만이 활성화된다는 선택적 가설을 검증하고자하는 목적으로 2개의 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 한글 표적자극의 수행이(실험2) 점화자극으로 제시된 영어 단어의 음운적 조작에 따라 유의미한 영향을 받았고, 영어 표적자극을 처리할 때에는 (실험1) 점화자극으로 제시된 한글 단어의 음운적 조작에 따라 영향을 받는 경향을 발견하였다. 이는 이중언어 중 한 언어를 처리할 때에 다른 언어의 음운적 지식이 자동적으로 활성화됨을 의미하며 한국인에게 있어서 제2언어인 영어의 처리에서 음운정보가 중요한 역할을 함을 의미한다.

본 연구는 한국어 통합 교재를 대상으로 발음 교육의 내용이라고 볼 수 있는 교재에 나오는 음운 체계, 음운 규칙, 발음 기술 및 표기, 그리고 발음 연습 등의 발음 항목들을 비교 분석하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 또한 분석 결과를 통해 드러난 문제점을 지적하고 이를 위한 개선 방향을 제언하고자 한다. 분석 결과로 나온 발음 내용의 문제점과 개선 방향을 나타내보면, 음운 체계에서는 자음과 모음의 제시 순서가 교재마다 다르게 나타났다. 이를 위해서는 자모의 제시 순서에 대한 표준안이 마련되어야 하는데 교수 가능성 및 학습 용이성은 물론이고 교재 및 학습 목적을 고려해서 표준안을 구성해야 한다. 그리고 음운 체계의 제시방법에서 의사소통 관점과 한국어 억양의 기능을 고려했을 때 억양의 의미와 기능에 대한 기술을 제시할 필요가 있다. 두 번째, 음운 규칙에서도 음운 체계와 마찬가지로 제시 순서가 교재마다 다르게 나왔는데 제시 순서를 정해야 하며 어떤 음운 규칙을 교재에 제시할 것인지가 선행되어야 한다. 음운 규칙을 설명할 때 용어 사용은 가능한 한 하지 않고 필수적이고 공통적인 내용을 기술하도록 해야 한다. 마지막으로, 발음내용의 기타 사항에서는 발음을 위한 예를 단어로 제시하는 점과 다양한 연습문제가 없는 점 등을 문제점으로 지적하였다. 발음 교육을 위해서는 문장이나 대화문으로 제시하고 발음 연습을 위해 다양한 연습과 다른 언어 기능과 연계할 것을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we propose a Transformation-Based Learning (TBL) method on generating the Korean standard pronunciation. Previous studies on the phonological processing have been focused on the phonological rule applications and the finite state automata (Johnson 1984; Kaplan and Kay 1994; Koskenniemi 1983; Bird 1995). In case of Korean computational phonology, some former researches have approached the phonological rule based pronunciation generation system (Lee et al. 2005; Lee 1998). This study suggests a corpus-based and data-oriented rule learning method on generating Korean standard pronunciation. In order to substituting rule-based generation with corpus-based one, an aligned corpus between an input and its pronunciation counterpart has been devised. We conducted an experiment on generating the standard pronunciation with the TBL algorithm, based on this aligned corpus.

This paper aims to investigate the acoustic characteristics of the vowels attested in Korean and French and to seek a way of understanding them from a phonological point of view. We first compare the two vowel systems by measuring the actual frequencies of the formants using CSL. It is shown that the first and second formants vary in wider range in French compared to Korean. In order to understand the two vowel systems from a phonological point of view, we apply the theory of Licensing Constraints, proposed and developed by Kaye (1994), and Charette and Kaye (1994). We propose the licensing constraints placed upon the vowels both in Korean and French. For Korean, we propose the licensing constraints such that both elements I and U must be heads. For French, we claim the following licensing constraints: U in a headed expression must be head, A cannot be head, and Nothing can only license an expression A in it.
