A study on the realization of /h/ between sonorant sounds

공명음 사이의 /ㅎ/의 실현에 대한 음성, 음운론적 고찰

The purpose of this paper is to research the realization of /h/ between sonorant sounds. For this purpose, we analyze speech of 5 people using standard Korean. As a result, we can find that the possibility of deletion of /h/ is increasing, when speech rate is high, the AP has more syllables, and /h/ is far from the AP-initial. While the position of AP or IP has no relation to realization of /h/. The deletion of /h/ is more often in this order. Followed segments: lateral>nasal>vowel, following segments: vowel>glide. And there is no change on duration of following vowel after /h/ deletion.
