Kwon, Soohyun. 2020. The magnitude of articulatory gestures for the glide /w/ in Korean: Implications for the phonological representation of /w/. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology 26.3. 395-409. This study examines the articulatory properties of the glide /w/ in Korean, using ultrasound. While some claim that there is no dorsal glide, others argue that glides have two designated articulators, and that /w/ is both [Dorsal] and [Labial]. The results of this study reveal that /w/ in Korean consists of both lip and tongue gestures, and that the primary articulatory correlate of /w/ is lip protrusion while tongue dorsum raising serves as a secondary but important articulatory feature. The findings are discussed in terms of phonological representations and articulatory implementation of glides. (Seoul National University, Lecturer)
