Merger-in-Progress of Tonal Classes in Masan/Changwon Korean

In Masan/Changwon Korean, a dialect in the South Gyeongsang (Kyungsang) Province, two lexical tonal classes—Final and Medial-Double (MDouble)—have similar phonetic realizations. In data collection, three sets of materials were recorded from younger speakers: (i) words with particles, (ii) compounds and (iii) sentences with contrastive focus, each set containing either Final or M-Double words. The results revealed that the two classes were indeed under a merger-in-progress in younger speakers. In addition, betweenspeaker and between-condition (material set) differences were found on how classes merge. The between-condition difference is a challenge for theories on lexical tonal representations

Prosodic Patterns as Evidence for Syntactic Structure: A View from the Genitive Subject Construction in Modern Korean

会議名: Evidence-based Linguistics Workshop 2023, 開催地: 国立国語研究所, 会期: 2023/09/14-15, 主催: 国立国語研究所、神戸大学人文学研究科統語論、音韻論、意味論など言語学の各分野においては、それぞれの現象を検討するために、細分化されたそれぞれの分野内のデータが証拠とされることが多い。しかし有効な証拠は分野内に限らず、分野外のデータから得られることもある。本発表では、現代韓国語の属格主語構造を一例として、統語構造に関する仮説の検証に韻律パターンを証拠として使用することの有効性を示す。現代日本語では、「母親が焼いたチジミ／母親の焼いたチジミ」のように連体修飾節中の主格と属格が交替することが可能であるが、現代韓国語／朝鮮語では方言によって可能性が異なることが指摘されている（Sohn, 2004; 金銀姫 2014）。ここで「母親の」のような名詞句が連体修飾節の主語であるという証拠を示すために、従来の研究では修飾語を加えた複雑な文の意味判断を行わせることが多かった。本発表では、例文を各方言の母語話者に音読させた韻律パターンを分析することで、名詞句が連体修飾節の主語であることの明瞭な証拠が得られることを示す。application/pdf帝京大学国立国語研究所名古屋大学早稲田大学Teikyo UniversityNational Institute for Japanese Language and LinguisticsNagoya UniversityWaseda Universityconference pape

The future of dialects: Selected papers from Methods in Dialectology XV

Traditional dialects have been encroached upon by the increasing mobility of their speakers and by the onslaught of national languages in education and mass media. Typically, older dialects are “leveling” to become more like national languages. This is regrettable when the last articulate traces of a culture are lost, but it also promotes a complex dynamics of interaction as speakers shift from dialect to standard and to intermediate compromises between the two in their forms of speech. Varieties of speech thus live on in modern communities, where they still function to mark provenance, but increasingly cultural and social provenance as opposed to pure geography. They arise at times from the need to function throughout the different groups in society, but they also may have roots in immigrants’ speech, and just as certainly from the ineluctable dynamics of groups wishing to express their identity to themselves and to the world. The future of dialects is a selection of the papers presented at Methods in Dialectology XV, held in Groningen, the Netherlands, 11-15 August 2014. While the focus is on methodology, the volume also includes specialized studies on varieties of Catalan, Breton, Croatian, (Belgian) Dutch, English (in the US, the UK and in Japan), German (including Swiss German), Italian (including Tyrolean Italian), Japanese, and Spanish as well as on heritage languages in Canada
