| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The conditions regarding Korean sais-Sori epenthesis have been extensively documented. However, the psychological reality of the conditions remained to be experimentally investigated. The current study investigated the process focusing on listeners' perceptual aspects. Further, this study included an understudied dialect of Korean which is spoken in the south eastern part of Kyungsang Province. This variety of Korean is an instructive testing ground of laryngeal contrast as it lacks the contrast between lax and tense in fricatives. This research not only enables us to better understand the mechanism of the process, but also provides linguistic data of an endangered dialect.
