Abstract
Front vowel /e/ is variably raised to [i] in Seoul Korean. Sociolinguistic
fieldwork reveals that only a handful of lexical items are subject to this
change with varying degrees. 1 propose that the previous merger of /e/
and /r/ is the most plausible conditioning factor which funcitions as a
constraint of homophony avoidance and triggers a chain shift. Moreover,
grammatical categorization and frequency of lexical items, and even
some analogical process to other dialects (in which /e/>/i/ change is
complete) augmentatively render this change a look of diffusion type".
This is parallel to the case found in the tensing of English front vowel
/ æ/ in the Middle Atlantic States of America.
