ABSTRACT

This study examined a phonological phenomenon which is found in Chinese students who are learning Korean’s pronunciation such as changing or interfering nasal sounds of coda(ex., *[dang.ki]←[dan.ki], *[hem.pep] ← [hen.pep], *[pang.ran.hoi]←[pak.ram.hoi], *[wi.heng.sseng]<--[wi.hem.seng]). This paper found that we can classify the phonological change or interfering nasal sounds of coda as 4 types. Firstly, this phonological change or interfering seems to be related to a place assimilation of consonants which exists in Chinese. Secondly, this phonological change or interfering seems to be influenced by the interference of mother tongue. In particular, the syllabic difference between Korean and Chinese has an affect on this phonological change. Thirdly, some examples do not seem to be related to a place assimilation or the interference of mother tongue directly. Fourthly, some examples seem to be influenced by the dialectal difference. Previous studies have explained this phonological change as changing from a nasal sound to a nasal sound in the surface structure. However, this study found that there are 4 types of nasal sound change of the coda position which are made by Chinese students who learn Korean. Considering these 4 types, this study is meaningful.
