Covert vowel length in Korean

Chin-W. Kim, Chin-W. Kim

Abstract

The author claims in this paper that vowel length in Korean is alive, at least in underlyig representations, if not so much in the surface form of contemporary Korean. The paper examines three phonological phenomena in Korean in order to support the claim: (a) vowel length and vowel contraction, (b) vowel length and vowel raising, and (c) vowel length and the so-called irregular predicates.
