韓漢音的分期與中古到現代的演變

초록

The main goal of this article is twofold. The first is to present the grounds for periodization, layers, and the origin of Sino-Korean, Korean readings of Chinese characters. The second is to discuss major changes in the phonological systems from Middle Sino-Korean to Modern Sino-Korean. This article claims that aspirated consonants, consonantal codas, and tones became phonemic in Middle Sino-Korean, which is claimed to be the closest to seventh to eighth century Middle Chinese. Middle Sino-Korean is notable because it preserved the distinctions of the Middle Chinese four divisions, děng, and doublets, chóngniŭ, unlike many Chinese dialects. Middle Sino-Korean tones were lost by the end of the sixteenth century, which was followed by pre modern Sino-Korean. Alveolar palatalization took place during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It underwent different paths from the alveolar palatalization in Old Mandarin. Beginning from the twentieth century, Modern Sino-Korean faced the loss of a low back vowel [ʌ]. At the same time, monophthongization occurred in four diphthongs, [ai], [ei], [oi], and [wi].
