ABSTRACT

This study explores a phonological study of ‘X]vst+eoyo(어요)’ in Chungnam Dialect. Dialtects of four regions including Gongju, Cheonan, Boryeong, and Taean are realized as [-yu] with long sound ending, which are represented as Chungnam dialect. In fact, this is caused the mechanism of vowel raising from ‘o→u’. In addition, ‘X]vst+eoyo(어요)’ dialects are different based on whether its final word is vowel or consonant. Also, it is confirmed that there are two types of Chungnam dialect according to region. Thus, the purpose of this study is to discover what are phonological mechanisms which operate realization of those dialects. First, ‘[-u]’ is represented as Chungnam diatect among ‘X]vst+eoyo(어요)’ dialects. Second, this Chungnam diatect can be categorized into two largely based on whether final word is vowel or consonant. Third, it is confirmed that there are two dialects according to region within those two categorization, or inland region such as Gongju․Cheonan regional dialect and west coastal region dialects such as Boryeong․Taean regional dialect. Forth, in case of integrated type which has a vowel in word final + ‘-eoyo’, a variety of phenomena are observed in two regions. One is that there is ‘-eo’ deletion in common in word final vowels such as ‘a, eo, ae, e, oe’. The other is that gliding is realized on the condition that word final vowel ‘o/u and I’ are integrated with ‘-eoyo’ in dialect of inland area (Gongju․Cheonan), which is a typically middle area dialect. However, replacement and deletion are realized due to expansion of vowel raising rules, ‘eo→eu’, in case that ‘-eoyo’ is integrated with word final vowel with condition of gliding. Irregular conjugation of ‘s (ㅅ) and b (ㅂ)’ experienced this realization too. Another example can be found in the case of word final vowel ‘eu’ where realization of Gongju․Cheonan shows variation of ‘-eo’, two vowels on word final, as in ‘kkeu+eoyo→kkeoyu’ like middle area dialect. On the contrary, Boryeong․Taean regional dialect shows variation of ‘-eo’, two vowels on word final, as in ‘kkeu+eoyo→kkeuu’. This tendency of realization in the case of integration type in word final vowel + ‘-eoyo’ is about the same in the integration of ‘-eoya’. Finally, various phenomena are provided depending on two regions in the case of integration type such as word final consonant + ‘-eoyo’. One is that Chungnam dialect in word final consonant + ‘-eoyo’ is realized as ‘[-u]’ in common, showing regional difference subject to the types of consonants. Another is that when word final consonant of inland area (Gongju․Cheonan) is integrated with ‘-eoyo’, it is prolonged except final consonant ‘ss’, which is a common middle area dialect. Additionally, when word final bilabials and ‘-eoyo’ are integrated in west region (Boryeong․Taean), they experience replacement due to the expansion of vowel raising rules in ‘eo→eu’ and even vowel rounding in ‘eu→u’. Also, in the case of word final alveolar, hard palate, and soft palate, variation in ‘eo→eu’, voluntary vowel fronting in ‘eu→i’, and deletion of same sound are realized. Yet, a distinctive dialects are observed where mutation in ‘eo→eu’, ‘eu→i’, and deletion of same sound are applied throughout Chungnam area In the case of ‘ss’ among alveo fricatives in stem final. In addition, ‘h (ㅎ)’, consonant in stem final is classified as dialect of stem final vowel as it is deleted in the process of integration with ‘-eoyo’.
