Phonologically Korean, English, and Japanese language are different from each other as well as they share some common features. Japanese language has the open syllable structure while Korean and English language have the closed-syllable structure. Likewise, there is the distinction between voiceless and voiced sound where the vibration of the vocal cords affects meanings in English and Japanese while, in Korean language, meanings are affected by whether the sound is plosive or not. Comparing the borrowed words, this dissertation explores the phonological structures which have common and different features with each other. The way to borrow the foreign words can be divided into two; direct and indirect. This dissertation focuses on the English loanwords in Korean indirectly borrowed through Japanese. |
