Output-to-Output Correspondence in Korean Reduplication

In this paper, we provide an Optimality-Theoretic analysis of Korean partial reduplication by relying on Jun's (1994) rule-based analysis. We are mainly concerned with the patterns in which coda consonants delete along with laryngeality of the following onset: /t h ak/ → /t h a-tak/. Such patterns have been analyzed by Jun employing Metrical Weight Consistency (MWC) constraint, which requires the identity of the foot number of the input and output. Within the framework of Correspondence Theory (McCarthy & Prince 1995, 1997), we propose, as the main mechanism, an Output-to-Output correspondence constraint, D EP -OO(foot), which requires metrical feet of an output candidate to have correspondents of the base. It is shown that the proposed Output-to-Output constraint is equally efficient in deriving attested patterns without positing intermediate levels.
