Korean Phonological Inventory #

Korean segments and the stop nasalization rule, using the SPE formalism from Theories.Phonology.RuleBased.Defs.

Segments #

Core inventory for the nasalization demo: /p t k m n a u l/. Korean stops are specified as [-del.rel.] (non-affricate), which is the target feature for the nasalization rule.

Rules #

  1. Stop Nasalization (Hayes p.132): [-del.rel.] → [+nasal, +voice, +son] / __ [+nasal]

@cite{hayes-2009}

/p/: voiceless bilabial stop (non-affricate)

Equations
  • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For

    /t/: voiceless alveolar stop (non-affricate)

    Equations
    • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
    Instances For

      /k/: voiceless velar stop (non-affricate)

      Equations
      • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
      Instances For

        /m/: bilabial nasal

        Equations
        • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
        Instances For

          /n/: alveolar nasal

          Equations
          • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
          Instances For

            /a/: low vowel

            Equations
            • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
            Instances For

              /u/: high back rounded vowel

              Equations
              • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
              Instances For

                /l/: alveolar lateral

                Equations
                • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
                Instances For

                  Stop Nasalization (Hayes p.132): [-del.rel.] → [+nasal, +voice, +son] / __ [+nasal]

                  Non-affricate stops become nasalized before nasals.

                  Equations
                  • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
                  Instances For

                    Vowels and nasals lack [-del.rel.], so they don't trigger nasalization.
