| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
In both Japanese and Korean, the lexicon is made up of different strata: native words, Chinese borrowings, more recently adopted ‘foreign’ loanwords, and so-called mimetic words. The purpose of this project is to investigate how lexical stratification works. More concretely, the goals are to describe and compare the stratum-specific morphological and phonological patterns in Japanese and Korean, to measure the degree of stratification in the two languages, to account for the similarities and differences that will be uncovered, and to develop a network-based model of lexical stratification.
