ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to report changes of /ɔ/ in the Jeju dialect according to the generation. For this purpose, I selected three subjects one of whom is in his twenties, the other in his fifties, and the rest in his seventies. The result of fieldwork and analyses is as follows: (1) /ɔ/ in word-initial syllables is preserved in data of the subject in his seventies. /*ɔ/ in non-initial syllables, in principle, was changed into /ɯ/ (this change applies to data of subjects belong to the below generations.). If vowel in the first syllable is /ɔ/, /*ɔ/ in non-initial syllabes is preserved, or changed into /ə/ or /o/. (2) In data of the subject in his fifties, /*ɔ/ is changed into /o/ in word-initial syllables, and /ə/ in non-initial syllables. (3) In data of the subject in his twenties, traces of /*ɔ/ are discovered in /o/ in word-initial syllables.
