The Adaptation of English Liquids in Contemporary Korean : a Diachronic Study
Kang, Yoonjung (University of Toronto Scarborough. Centre for French and Linguistics)

Fecha:	2012
Resumen:	This paper examines the diachronic development of English liquid adaptation in Contemporary Korean (1890-Present) based on a number of loanword lists from different time periods. The examination of initial liquids shows that contrary to common assumption, the initial liquids are often realized as [n], showing that the Tu?m rule (a rule of initial liquid avoidance) is still active, although marginally. The adaptation of word-medial /l/ varies between singleton [?] and geminate [ll]. A quantitative study finds evidence for both of two competing explanations for the variation-(1) the singleton adaptation is a remnant of Japanese-mediated loans and (2) the variation is conditioned by the durational characteristics of English input-but the former turns out to be a more dominant factor and the latter plays only a minor role.
