AB - The representation of subsyllablic structure of Korean has been under ongoing dispute. There have been different sets of language behavioral data trying to support left branching, right branching, or non-hierarchial structure. The current paper approaches this issue with a new set of data focusing on rhythm in language. It is assumed that it is possible to examine how language users represent the subsyllabic structure by investigating rhyming patterns used in rap-songs. An experiment was performed in which a rappers' group and a listeners' group marked all the rhymed words they could perceive. A statistical analysis of the distributional characteristics of perceived rhyme parts is provided to determine which subsyllabic structure is more frequently used in rap-song rhyming. The result indicated that rappers considered both body (i.e., onset plus nucleus) and rime (i.e., nucleus plus coda) equally as rhyme constituents, while listeners who are less accustomed to detecting rap-song rhymes perceived rimes better than bodies. The findings will be discussed in terms of their implications for the substructure of Korean syllables.
