Abstract

The morphophonological principle in Hangeul orthography is clearly revealed in notations of words formulated by morphological processes such as declension, conjugation, and word-formation. This study therefore examines the main content of the morphophonological principle in Hangeul Orthography in detail, with a research focus on declensional forms, conjugation forms, and complex words.BR The main content of the morphophonological principle in Hangeul orthography is to identify the underlying form of the morpheme and to distinguish the boundary of the morphemes by syllable. However, this includes many exceptions. This follows from the failure to accurately analyze the underlying form of the morpheme and the boundary of the morphemes. It also follows from the nature of Hangeul orthography, which combines letters in syllable units and naturally draws out Hangeul notation close to actual pronunciation.BR Analyzing the underlying form of the morpheme and the boundary of the morphemes can vary considerably depending on the criteria and methods of morphological analysis. It is therefore necessary to understand the principles and details in Hangeul orthography properly, evaluate it objectively, and based on this point, it is necessary to revise the detailed rules of Hangeul orthography in a desirable direction in the future. For this, there should be sufficient discussion and agreement on the objective criteria and methods of morph analysis.
