ABSTRACT

This study is examined to a series of palatalizational aspect from the Korean language materials written in Kana as known the formation time in the late 1600s. The result is following this;At first, this is related to the assumption of sound value on ‘ㅈ’. ∙Except i, j vowels with ‘ㅈ’ are correspond to Japanese ‘サ(sa)’ row and voiced sound itself. It is assumed that ‘ㅈ’ sound would have pronounced to [ts, dz] of Korean in 16 century. At that time there was no corresponding to a plosive-ficative in Japanese. So it was represented fricative same location of articulation instead of plosive-fricative ∙There are cases that ㅈ{vowels except i, j} cope with Japanese ‘ツ(tu)’. That is connected with the affricate process of Japanese ‘ツ(tu), チ(ti)’. In marking Korean affricate ‘ㅈ’ as Japanese ‘ツ(tu)’ might mean that Japanese had become a plosive-ficative already. ∙ㅈ{i, j} appear ‘チ(ti)’. It also connected with a affricate in Japanese at the time, such an influence means being palatalized. Then Korean ㅈ{i, j} might be palatalized too. ∙ㄹ→∅/ ㅈ{i, j} appear 'ソ(so)'. In connection with phonology rule and the sound value of , ‘ㄹ’-falling off means that ‘ㅈ’ was [ts] on the level of phonology. In that case ㅈ{i, j} might be〔ts〕though having palatality. Second, searching for needs to consider Japanese palatalization and orthography at the sound-written possibility. In fact Korean palatalization is almost impossible to examine in using the Korean language materials written in Kana. By the way ‘ㄷ-palatalization’ of then time was proved the contrary with hypercorrection ‘방마티’. And through ‘티’ is sound-written to ‘テイ(te-i)’, it could be examined of distinctive possibility on ‘디(티):지(치)’. Subsequently, with grammatical morpheme '-ㅎ디(아)' and '디(아)' being appeared 'タ' and 'チヤ' there has examined those examples of ‘ㄷ-palatalization’. Therefore ‘ㄷpalatalization’ can be examined in condition 'ㅈ[ts]' with palatalized allophone [ʧ]. Third, this meterials is revealed the character of dongnam dialect then whether ‘ㄷ(t),ㅎ(h),ㄱ(k)-palatalization' have or not paid attention. The results indicate that ‘ㅈ’ with palatalized allophone and ‘ㄷ(t), ㅎ(h)- palatalization' are appeard but ‘ㄱ(k)-palatalization' is not.
