Abstract

Three experiments were conducted to explore the internal structure of Korean syllables. A phoneme substitution task with aurally presented stimuli was used. In Experiment 1 with monosyllables as stimuli, the coda was substituted faster than the nucleus, and the nucleus was substituted faster than the onset. The performance to open syllables was roughly the same as that to closed syllables. In Experiment 2 in which the phoneme to substitute and the position of substitution were fixed in a session, similar results as in Experiment 1 was obtained. In experiment 3 disyllabic words were used as stimuli to test the effect of syllable structure and word structure and the results suggesting only the effect of syllable structure were obtained. All the results from the three experiments indicated that the internal structure of Korean syllables is the body structure.
