ABSTRACT

This paper is a phonological analysis of dialogue in the novel Honghap[홍합] and showed phonological characteristics of yeosu dialects which are reflected in the novel Honghap[홍합]. To make sure that the phonological characteristics reflect yeosu dialects, I compared them with the former study and Korea dialect research data. And I checked the difference between the novel Honghap[홍합] and the present Yeosu dialects. As a result of this study, the novel Honghap[홍합] showed the hard lives of middle-aged women and yeosu residents' lives through tensification, palatalization, umlaut, front vowel-vowelization. The high-vowelization of ‘o’ seems a conservative tendency in Jeonnam dialects, so the novel Honghap[홍합] has reflected these characteristics. however there is a difference in the high-vowelization of ‘ə’, that is, the novel Honghap[홍합] has reflected the type of ‘ɨ’ data, the yeosu dialect dictionary and Korea dialect research data have reflected the high-vowelization of ‘ə’. In the high-vowelization of ‘e’, the novel Honghap[홍합] is a difference in the particle, but generally it reflects the characteristics of yeosu dialects. As the addition of a consonant or semivowel is a general phenomenon in Jeonnam dialects, the novel Honghap[홍합] has reflected these characteristics. The contraction is a difference in the verb. but generally the novel Honghap[홍합] reflects the characteristics of yeosu dialects. Compared the novel Honghap[홍합] with the present Yeosu dialects, tensification, palatalization, the high-vowelization of ‘o’ are still occurring in the present Yeosu dialects. The umlaut is also occurring, but there are examples where the umlaut and high-vowelization are applied sequentially. The front vowel-vowelization does not occur at the morpheme boundary, but only within the morpheme. Based on field surveys, It seems that the high-vowelization of ‘ə’ is changing from not occurring in the Yeosu dialects. The high-vowelization of ‘e’ is still occurring in the Yeosu dialects, but there is a difference in particles. The addition of consonant is taking place in the Yeosu dialects. In the case of semivowel addition, two forms coexist. but it seems to be more general that the semivowel addition does not occur as in ‘어디'. In the case of the diphthong contraction, the words that have changed to ‘yə>e’ and ‘yə>e>i’ have coexisted.
