Corea del Sur
Recently, lexical palatalization in Korean has analyzed as the interplay of phonological process called Affrication and phonetic palatalization (Kim, 2011). This study investigates the profile of this Affrication process by comparing underlyingly and derived post-alveolar affricates. Specifically, it analyzed temporal and spectral measurements of the production made by 15 native speakers of Korean. Stimuli were controlled regarding morphological structure, considering that lexical palatalization only occurs across a morpheme boundary. According to the results, Affrication process changes the contrition location of alveolar plosive backward, unlike the morpheme boundary effect which lengthens closure duration. However, the changed place of articulation is still anterior to its post-alveolar counterpart, compatible with Zsiga (1994)’s report on the difference between derived and underlyingly post-alveolar affricates.
