통신언어의 모음변이와 음성학적 유사성

초록

The purpose of this study is to provide deeper understanding of how it is possible for people to understand PCcommunication language they have never seen or heard before without any problem. In order to answer this question, wefocused on the vowel variation through which new variants are created (for PC communication), and hypothesized that thereis a phonetic constraint which requires the vowel of the variant to be phonetically similar (to the maximum) to the vowel ofthe original word. Through the corpus analysis of the dictionary of PC communication language, we show that our hypothesisis justified by the fact that most of the variants we collected from the dictionary, that is, 90% of them, conformed to thephonetic constraint we postulated.
