This paper examines transcription of sounds from a phonological perspective. It has found that most of transcriptions have been done on a segmental basis alone, without consideration of the whole phonological systems and levels, and without a full understanding of the nature of the linguistic and phonetic alphabets. In a word, sound transcriptions have not been done on the basis of the phonology of the language and the alphabet. This study shows a phonological model for transcribing foreign and native sounds, suggesting ways of improving some of the current transcription systems such as the Hangeul transcription of loan words and the romanization of Hangeul, as well as the phonetic transcription of English and other foreign languages.

The paper discusses the way in which speech sounds are being evaluated and transcribed in various fields of speech sciences, and suggests ways for a more accurate transcription. The academic fields explored are of phonetics, speech processing, speech pathology, and foreign language education. The discussion centers on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), most commonly used in these fields, and other less widely-accepted transcription conventions such as the TOnes and Break Indices (ToBI), the Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet (SAMPA), an extension of the official Korean Romanization (KORBET), and the American-English transcription system in the TIMIT database (TIMITBET). These transcription conventions are dealt with Korean, English, and Korean-accented English. The paper demonstrates that each transcription can exclusively be recommended for a specific need from different academic fields. Due to its publicity, the IPA is best suited for phonetic evaluation in the fields of phonetics, speech pathology, and foreign language education. The rest of the transcriptions are useful for keyboard-inputting the phonetically evaluated data from all these fields as well as for sound transcription in speech engineering, because they use convenient letter symbols for typing, searching, and programming. Several practical suggestions are made to maintain the transcriptional efficiency and consistency to accommodate the intra-and inter-transcriber variability.

한국인들의 국제활동 증대에 따라 외국인들과의 접촉이 증가하였으며 활동의 주체인 한국인 개인을 외국인이 식별해야 하는 필요가 증대되고 있다. 개인을 식별해주는 것은 개인의 이름(personal name)이며, 한글(Hangeul, Korean alphabet)을 모르는 외국인이 한국인을 식별할 수 있도록 하려면 한국인명을 로마자로 표기하는 음성번역(phonetic translation)이 필요하다. 한국인명의 로마자표기 실태를 보면 다양한 형식이 혼용되고 있어 혼돈이 벌어지고 있다. 한국인명을 로마자로 표기하는 과정에서 발생하는 혼돈은 크게 한국인명을 표기하기 위한 로마자 자모의 선택과 표기형식의 상이함에서 비롯된다. 본 연구는 한국인명의 로마자표기를 위한 형식을 검토하여 최적안을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 한국과 서구간의 인명 구조와 사용관행의 차이를 살펴보고, 한국인명의 로마자표기의 의미와 관련쟁점을 정리하였으며, 현재 사용되고 있는 다양한 표기형식을 유형화하였다. 이를 기반으로 한국인명의 로마자표기에 사용되고 있는 다양한 형식을 검토하고 최적안이라 판단되는 표기형식을 제안하였다.

In Korean, as with Kana and Kanji in Japanese, two kinds of word-writing systems--Hangul (the Korean alphabet) and Hanja (the Chinese character; Kanji in Japanese)--have been and still are being used. Hangul is phonetic while Hanja is ideographic. A phonetic alphabet represents the pronunciation of words, wheras ideographs are where a character of a writing system represents a concept. Aphasics suffer from language disorders following brain damage. The reading and writing of Hangul and Hanja by two Korean Broca's aphasics were analyzed with two goals. The first goal was to confirm the functional autonomy of reading and writing systems in the brain that has been argued by other researchers. The second goal was to reveal what difference the subjects show in reading and writing Hangul and Hanja. As experimental materials, 50 monosyllabic words were chosen in Hangul and Hanja respectively. The 50 word pairs of Hangul and Hanja have the same meaning and are also the most familiar monosyllabic words for a group of normal adults in their fifties and sixties. The errors that the aphasic subjects made in performing the experimental materials are analyzed and discussed here. This analysis has confirmed that reading and writing systems are located in different parts in the brain. Furthemore, it seems clear that the two writing systems of Hangul and Hanja have their own respective processes.

In the phoneme level, English stop sounds are classified with the feature of 'voicing': voiceless and voiced (p/b, t/d, k/g). But when realized, a voiceless stop is not alwats the same sound. For example, the two 'p' sounds in 'people' are different. The former is pronounced with much aspiration, while the latter without it. This allophonic differnece between [$P^h$] and [p] out of an English phoneme /p/ can be well explained to Koreans because in Korean these two sounds exist as two different phonemes {/ㅍ/ and /ㅃ/ respectively). But difficulties lie in teaching the English voiced stop sounds (/b, d, g/) to Koreans because in Korean voiced stops do not exist as phonemes but as allophones of lenis sounds (/ㅂ, ㄷ, ㄱ/). For example, the narrow transcription of '바보' (a fool) is [baboo]. In the word initial position, Korean lenis stops are pronounced voiceless and even with a slight aspiration while in the inrervocalic environments they become voiced, That is in Korean voiced stops do not occur independently and neither they have their own letters. To explain all these more effectively to Koreans, it is very helpful to use Korean Phenetic Alphabet (KPA) which is devised by Dr. LEE Hyunbok (a professor of phonetics at Seoul National Univ. and chairman of Phonetic Society of Koera.)(omitted)

This paper is intended as a preliminary study on phonetic and phonological differences between Polish and Korean languages. In this paper an attempt is made to examine the most conspicious difficulties encountered by Polish learners who begin to speak Korean (and in doing so, 1 would hope that it might be of help to future learners of both languages). Since the phoneme inventory and general phonetic rules for both languages are very different, teaching and learning accurate pronunciation is extremely difficult for both the Poles and Koreans without any previous phonetic training. In the case of Polish and Korean we can see how strong and persistent the influences of the mother-tongue are on the target language. As an example I would like to discuss the basic differences between Polish and Korean consonants. The most important consonantal opposition in Polish is voice-/voicelessness (f. ex.; 〔b〕 / 〔p〕, 〔g〕 / 〔k〕) while in Korean, opposition such as voice-/voicelessness is of secondary importance. Therefore Korean speakers do not perceive the difference between Polish voiced and voiceless consonants. On the other hand, Polish speakers can not distinguish Korean lenis / fortis / aspirated consonants (f. ex.; ㅂ 〔b〕 / ㅃ 〔p〕 / ㅍ〔ph〕, ㄱ 〔g〕 / ㄲ 〔k〕 / ㅋ 〔kh〕)) opposition. The other very important factor is palatalization which is of vital importance in Polish and, because of this, Polish speakers are extremely sensitive to it. In Korean palatalization is not important phonetically and Korean speakers do not distinguish between palatalized and non-palatalized consonants. The transcription used here is based on ' The principles of the International Phonetic Association and the Korean Phonetic Alphabet ' (1981) by Hyun Bok Lee.

The purpose of this paper is to gather pairs of heteronyms in Modem Korean and to propose that all of them should be differentiated in both the Hanngul orthography and Romanization as well as in the IPA transcription. More than a quarter of the whole Korean vocabulary consists of words with a long vowel and the number of minimal pairs distinguished only by the chroneme reaches nearly ten thousand (ie. twenty thousand words). It is suggested here that the letter s in Hanngul and the letter 'h' in the Roman alphabet be used to represent the long vowel. Another factor which brings forth lots of heteronyms in Korean is the lacking of enough indication as to non-automatic reinforcement in the initial consonant o( a word (or a morpheme) when following another within a phrase (or a word). It is proposed here that the non-automatincally rienforced word-initial consonant should be written with the letter h (like ㅺ, ㅼ, ㅽ, ㅾ) and an apostrophe (like 물'새 or 밭'이랑, 물'약) in Hanngul, and with the letter c and an apostrophe (like c'g-, c'd-, c'b-, c'j- ) in the Roman alphabet The morpheme-initial reinforced consonant within a word is written with the letters k, 1, p and cz for ㅺ, ㅼ, ㅽ, and ㅾ respectively. The contrasted pronunciations of pairs of heteronyms beginning with ㅁ/m sound are transcribed here for exemplification in the IPA, Roman alphabet and Hanngul.

한글은 동아시아 한자문화권 속에서 태어났다. 우리의 글자문화는 서양 글자 문화는 엄연히 다른 전통이 있었다. 동양에서 글자란 영물이자 주술이었으며, 존엄과 신비 그리고 제의가 함유된 경외의 대상이었다. 동양에서는 글씨 그 자체의 엄연한 가치를 인정하는 문화적 전통이 있었던 것이다. 이러한 글자관 세계속에서 완벽한 소리글자로서 한글은 태어났다. 그러나 한글의 특성은 뜻글자로서의 한자적 배경과 사뭇 다르며 독특하다. 한글은 소리글자임에도 불구하고 한자적 이미지의 고향을 강하게 지니고 있다. 이것은 라틴 알파벳이 그 진화의 오랜 여정 속에서 이미지의 고향을 잃어버린 것과 대조되는 부분이며, 소리글자로서의 한글이 이미지의 속성을 함께 가지고 있는 것은 한글의 특성이라 할 수 있다. 다시 말해 한글 형태는 조합 방식에서 한자와 같은 속성을 가지고 있으면서, 소리글자로서의 특성은 라틴 알파벳에 가깝다. 한글은 곧 시간적으로 한자 문화에 바탕을 둔 시각 이미지 글자의 배경으로서의 기억을 생생히 가지고 있고, 또 기능적으로는 매우 발달된 형태의 소리글자로서의 글자의 두 가지 속성을 모두 한몸에 지니고 있는 것이 특징이다. 이러한 한글의 특징은 이미지 시대에 살고 있는 우리에게 바로 우리 시각문화의 존재 의미를 일깨워주는 부분이라 하겠다. 곧 세계 글자문화 속에서 돋보이는 이러한 한글 타이포그라피의 정체성이야 말로 바로 우리 시각문화의 본질이 될 것이다.
