Morphological Change of "-y"

Abstract

본 논문의 목적은 철자 -y의 형태론적 변화에 대한 종래의 연구를 검토, 비판하고 대안을 제시하는데 있다. 대안의 하나는 -y→-ie는 굴절형태론(inflectional morphology)에서 일어난다는 가설이고, 또 하나의 대안은 -y→-i는 파생형태론(derivational morphology)에서 일어난다는 가설이다. 이 분석은 종래의 연구가 포착하지 못하고 있는 일반성과 간결성을 포착하고 있다고 본다.

This paper aims to examine provious treaments of morphological change of -y as a spelling and also to present an alternative. My first alternative is that -y→-ie occurs in the inflectional morphology when -y is after a consonant. My second alternative is that -y→-i occurs in the derivational morphology when -y is after a consonant. My analysis seems to capture both gene ality and simplicity, while previous treatments do not.
