Underspecification in Korean Phonology (Morphology)

Abstract

dc:description

It is the purpose of this work to argue that the uniqueness of a sound is characterized by some, not all, distinctive features, departing from the SPE view of a segment as an unordered set of all the features supplied by universal grammar. By eliminating redundant features from underlying representation and specifying only unpredictable features, underspecification system constrains possible types of phonological processes in a given grammar.
