Phonology: Jongho Jun

• Professor Jongho Jun is primarily a phonologist, but he is also interested in the phonology-phonetics and phonology-morphology interfaces. His major research topics are "The role of Phonetics in Phonology" and "Phonological Variation". In his doctoral dissertation and a series of subsequent studies, he analyzed typological patterns of consonant place assimilation and other phonological phenomena involving consonant clusters under the framework of Optimality Theory. In the last 10 years, he has been studying the variation phenomenon observed in phonology and morphology with a focus on Korean data. He has provided an analysis of Korean n-insertion under the framework of Maximum Entropy Harmonic Grammar, published in Phonology (2015). He has published a review of the literature on Korean morpho-phonological processes including Korean n-insertion in Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics (2018).
