Abstract:<\/p>\n
\nKyungsang Korean shows an interesting noun-verb asymmetry where phonological processes interact opaquely in verbs but transparently in nouns; consonant cluster simplification (e.g., \/kaps\/ -> [kap] \u0091price\u0092) counterbleeds post-obstruent tensing (e.g., \/cap+ta\/ -> [capt\u0092a] \u0091to catch\u0092) in verbal inflections (e.g., \/malk+ta\/ -> [malt\u0092a], *[malta] \u0091to be clean\u0092) but not in noun inflections (e.g., \/talk+to\/ -> [talto], *[talt\u0092o] \u0091chicken\u0092 + \u0091also\u0092). In order to explain both opacity and the noun-verb asymmetry, I will show stratal OT (Kiparsky 2000) is not an adequate solution for this puzzle and propose an analysis based on Optimality Theory with Candidate Chains (OT-CC; McCarthy 2007). In this approach, opacity between post-obstruent tensing and consonant cluster simplification will be explained by PREC (IDENT(TENSE), MAX). Adopting Wolf (2008), I will also claim that serial phonology-morphology interactions in candidate chains (Wolf 2008) can explain the noun-verb asymmetry in Kyungsang Korean. Specifically, highly ranked PREC(MAX, insert-affixN), which penalizes a candidate chain with the insertion of nominal affixes before violating MAX, will lead a transparent result in nominal inflections only. In addition, I will lay out a non-opacity account of the same data. Based on the difference in the base form between verbs (A-suffix form) and nouns (citation form), the noun-verb asymmetry in tensification will be explained by phonetic duration preservation of each base.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
