Abstract

The phonological system of Sino-Korean sounds has a relatively neat correspondence with phonological system reflected in the middle Chinese sounds. However, Sino-Korean sounds also have special individual sounds in phonology. This article will discuss the consonants of this “The Special Pronunciations”. Compare and briefly explain the factors that cause the special pronunciations. In Sino-Korean, there are roughly five factors that cause The Special Pronunciations: 1. The influence of the shape of the character on the pronunciation;2. Pronunciations from different source;3. The influence of word meaning on pronunciation;4. The influence of modern Chinese;5. The influence of internal changes in Korean. Through this discussion, we can find that the Special Pronunciations is not an occasional phenomenon, but has been internalized as a part of the Sino-Korean sounds.
