형태음소 변동 요인으로서의 모음조화 규칙 : 15세기 국어 = ON THE GENERATIVE RULES OF VOWEL HARMONY IN 15TH CENTURY KOREAN

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article deals with the rules of vowel harmony in 15th century Korean. With reference to vowel harmony in the Korean language, vowels may be divided into three series: back high vowels /***** (p. 35), u/, back low vowels /*****, a, o/ and front high vowel /i/. These are so called nuclear vowels.
As far as vowel harmony is concerned, semi-vowels and non-nuclear vowels are redundant features.
There is no vowel harmony within (compound) nouns or (compound) verb stems in the Korean language. (Cf. Mongolian, which also belongs to the Altaic language family, always preserves vowel harmony within nouns and verb stems.)
Vowel harmony in 15th century Korean had a morphological function in that it generated the allomorphs of a morpheme. This functional vowel harmony may be better termed morphological vowel harmony.
Morpholgical vowel harmony in 15th century Korean is divided into two types.
1. Vowel harmony which occurs between a nuclear vowel in the final syllable of a noun and the nuclear vowel of a particle (case particle, complement particle, etc.).
2. Vowel harmony which occurs between a nuclear vowel in the final syllable of a verb stem and the nuclear vowel of a suffix.
The nuclear vowel in the final syllable of a noun and the nuclear vowel in the final syllable of a verb stem govern the nuclear vowels in particles and suffixes. In other words, the nuclear vowel in the final syllable of a noun and the nuclear vowel in the final syllable of a verb stem generate the allomorphs of the nuclear vowels in particles and suffixes.
As noted above, the harmony between two nuclear vowels derives a general rule, that is, that high vowels must harmonize with high vowels or back vowels.
Even when irregularity occurs in the harmony of vowel features, there are still fixed nuclear vowel patterns in particles and suffixes.
The generative rules which govern the harmonization between the nuclear vowel in the final syllable of a noun and the nuclear vowel of a particle, and the harmonization between the nuclear vowel in the final syllable of a verb stem with the nuclear vowel of a suffix as follows.
1. Generative rules governing nuclear vowel pattern in the harmonization between the nuclear vowel in the final syllable of a noun and the nuclear vowel of a particle.
