Abstract

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the internal structure of Korean syllables and Kulcas, the orthographic units corresponding to syllables. In experiment 1 using word game, first letters in Kulcas corresponding to initials in a syllable were substituted faster than last letters corresponding to codas. The type of Kulca didn't exert any influence on response times. In experiment 2 using phoneme shift task, the same result was obtained. But the type of Kulca influenced on the response times for mid letters which correspond to peaks. The results from experiment 1 and 2 together indicated the body/coda structure of Korean syllable. The language-specificity of syllable structure was suggested.
