ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyse the poetic words of Baek Seok in terms of dialectal phonology. In particular, this study focuses on the aspects of realization of palatalization reflected in the poetic words of Baek Seok. As a result of this study, I identified two aspects of the realization of palatalization reflected in the poetic words of Baek Seok. First, there is non-palatalization phenomenon which is reflecting the vernacular of north-western dialects of Korean. Therefore, /t, th/ preceding /i, j/ is realized not palatal but dental sound. Moreover, there is not word-initial constraint of /n, r/ connected palatalization in the poetic words of Baek Seok. the same as the vernacular of north-western dialects of Korean. But, I presume from ‘[suŋ]’(which comes from /hjuŋ/, ‘find fault with’)] that there is the actuation of palatalization of /h/ in the vernacular of north-western dialects of Korean. It is significant linguistic finding. Secondly, there is palatalization phenomenon which is reflecting the standard of Korean. That phenomenon is detected ‘-ji’(a connecting ending) and morpheme boundary such as between sub-stantive and case ending, base and suffix which is composing the stem of a declinable word including several lexical morphemes It is the result of language contact through education and occupation of Baek Seok.
