Abstract
The aim of this paper is to describe the phonetic value of the Korean vowels, particularly those of what is commonly referred to as Standard Korean" or Seoul Speech". The paper begins by discussing the validity of the traditional definition of Standard Korean" or Seoul Speech". A critical appraisal of the traditional definition reveals that it is no longer entirely adequate now as it used to be and consequently there is a need for substantial modifications of the current definition. A tentatively modified definition of Seoul Speech" reads: A Korean dialect spoken by educated people of over thirty years of age, born or brought up in Seoul area". The phonetic description of vowels in th is paper is based largely on the auditory judgment of the writer and the scale employed for description is the cardinal vowel system and the vowel quadrilateral of the International Phonetic Association, by reference to which important allophonic variations of the vowel phonemes as conditioned by various features such as stress and / or quantity are examined and described. Thus vowels are examined in three different contexts
