聲調의 機能論的 分析

Abstract

The tonal patterns of a Korean dialect spoken in Taegu area have been analyzed from a functional point of view. The author claims that two underlying functional accents Polarizing (P) and Leveling (E) can derive all derive all the surface patterns by the following rules: 1. a. (U) P (U) (L)H (L) b. (U) E (U) (L)H (H) 2. a. (U)PE (U)PU b. (U)PP (U)UP c. (U)E { P } (U)EU E Thus P produces polarizedpatterns such as HL, LH; E produces leveledpatterns such as HH; and these two kinds of patterns constitute an optimal functional contrast.
