- Abstract
- Existing theories of probabilistic phonotactics suggest that language learners employ the distribution of segment sequences to infer the existence of prosodic units (e.g., subsyllabic constituents) during their phonology build-up process. The present study investigated the association strength of segment sequences inside Korean words and explored its implication for contrasting models of subsyllabic constituency in Korean. The results provided evidence of an asymmetry in mean association strengths between onsets and codas as they combine with the nucleus vowels inside syllable. Implications of the current findings are discussed regarding the predictions of the contrasting models of the prosodic constituency in Korean syllable.
