ABSTRACT

This paper is the result of contemplating the problem of “the orthography of dialects” which arose in the compilation of the “Jeollabuk-do Dialect Dictionary”. In Chapter 2, we set up the scope and orthography principles of the “Jeollabuk-do (Jeonbuk) dialect”. The Jeonbuk dialect was defined as 'the words of elderly people used throughout Jeollabuk-do' from 1930 to the present. Additionally, the orthography of the “Jeonbuk dialect” is based on the morphophonemics orthography, and the boundary between the underlying forms in the case of refraction, synthesis, and derivation. In the case of phonological rules, if one word is the same as the standard form of the word, the standard form is used. On the other hand, if the word is not the same, the characteristic phonological phenomenon of the Jeonbuk dialect is reflected in the word’s orthography. And in the case where plural variations coexist, this is also reflected in the orthography. Finally, the conservativeness of the orthography is also mentioned. Chapter 3 is about phonemic orthography. A phoneme is distinguished as /ㅔ/[e] or /ㅐ/[ɛ] (except Gochang county), and if /ㅢ/[ɨj] is pronounced with standard pronunciation (acceptable), it is written as ㅢ. If not, the pronunciation is indicated as it sounds. Additionally the necessity for words like, ‘ㆆ[ʔ], ㆉ[jø]’ is also expressed. However, prosodemes are not reflected in the orthography. In Chapter 4, we examine some phonological phenomena that are characteristic of the “Jeonbuk dialectic” and mention that these phenomena should be reflected in the orthography. However, in the case of ‘h-deletion’, these phenomena are not reflected in the orthography due to the conservativeness of the orthography.
