In some languages, such as Korean and Japanese, various postlexical tonal phenomena, such as downstep, upstep, and edge tones, and the interplay between those and the lexical tonal phenomena have been found. Also, those postlexical tonal phenomena have been attributed to the prosodic structure. This talk is concerned with these issues with special reference to Masan/Changwon Korean, whose postlexical tonal phenomena have not been studied well.

This talk reports the results of the fieldwork on the lexical and postlexical tonal phenomena of Masan/Changwon Korean, and proposes the prosodic model to account for the phenomena.
