모라 이론 내에서 음절초자음 절점 할당의 필요성

초록

The purpose of this paper is to show five pieces of evidence in order to prove that the onset node should be acknowledged as a necessary node within the syllable structure. Phonologists such as Fudge(1969) and Selkirk(1982), among others, contest that the onset node is necessary to deal with many examples in which initial multiple consonants behave as a single constituent. However, in his moraic phonology(Hayes 1989: 298-99), Hayes explicitly argues that the syllable contains no onset or rhyme constituent, providing three arguments to support his theory. Considering these differing points of view, the issue of the existence of onset node is still debatable. Hence, by examining five pieces of new phonological evidence, this paper argues that the onset node is required in human language. The evidence is data from Tagalog um-prefixation, Pig Latin, blending in English, rhyming in English poetry, and the OCP operating in the onset node.
