title: Consistent sound change between stops and affricates in Seoul Korean within and across individuals: A diachronic investigation.
abstract: This study investigated whether sound change that Korean stops currently undergo occurred consistently for affricates at both the group and individual levels. This study compared the duration and F0 properties of Seoul Korean stops to those of the affricates produced by older and younger speakers. Group results showed consistent sound change between the two consonant manner types. In addition, individual examination indicated stability in use of duration and F0 within an individual, and enabled further understanding of the group pattern. The findings provided phonetic evidence to generalize the sound change of the stops to other Korean obstruents.
