Metrical weight consistency in Korean partial reduplication

Abstract

Korean possesses a rich onomatopoeic and mimetic vocabulary that may be augmented by partial reduplication and/or suffixation. This augmented category, which is referred to as partial extension in Jun (1993), is semantically characterised by a lengthening, or temporal extension of the base form:

The locus of the masked onset priming effect

“…However, there was greater priming at the syllable level than at the phoneme level. Taken together with previous research on Korean (Kim & Davis, 2002), these findings indicate that the MOPE reflects facilitated grapheme-to-phoneme conversion processes when the pronunciation of the target is computed through the nonlexical route, and are interpreted to support the Forster and Davis (1991) model of this effect. …”

The interplay of left- and right-branching effects: A phonotactic analysis of Korean syllable structure

“…This unit is expectedly the rime in a right-branching model but the body in a left-branching model. As far as can be gathered from the data presented in Jun (1994), Korean reduplication invariably involves the body. Rimebased reduplication is not attested.…”

“…Rimebased reduplication is not attested. To illustrate, refer to (4), taken from Jun (1994), in which the base is augmented by the body of the heavy syllable. Reduplication is exemplified for monosyllabic bases in (4a) and for disyllabic bases in (4b).…”

More than hello: Reconstituting sociolinguistic subjectivities in introductions among American Stuttering English speakers

“…These constructions are also distinct from ideophones that use multiple partial reduplication, as in Korean reduplication on onomatopoeic words (Jun 1994). Despite typological acknowledgment from scholars, there exists no theorizing on these constructions.…”
