An acoustic feature [noise] in the sound pattern of Korean and other languages

Abstract

|
This paper suggests that the onset-coda asymmetry found in languages like Korean and others should be dealt with in terms of one acoustic feature rather than other articulatory featuresk claiming that the acoustic feature involved here is [noise], i.e, ´aperiodic waveform energe´. It determines the structural well-formednes of the languages in question whether a code ends in [noise] or not, regardless of the intensity, the frequency, and the time duration of the [noise]. Fricatives, affricates, aspirated stops, tense stops, and released stops are all disallowed in the coda position due to the acoustic feature [noise] they commonly end with if they were posited in the coda. The proposal implies that the three seemingly separate prohibitions of consonants in the coda position -- ⅰ) no fricatives/affricates, ii) no aspirated/tense stops, and iii) no released stops -- are directly correlated with each other. Incorporation of the one acoustic feature [noise] in the feature theory enable us to see that the aspects of onset-coda asymmetry are derived from on single source: ban of [noise] in the coda.
Keywords: acoustic feature, [noise], onset-coda asymmetry, coda neutralization
