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 #
- 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
Korean stops have [-del.rel.], matching the nasalization target.
Vowels and nasals lack [-del.rel.], so they don't trigger nasalization.
