Yun, Yungdo. 2006. Dual Status of On-glides in Korean Syllables. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 14(1), 89-112. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether on-glides occur under onset or nucleus in Korean syllables. In this paper, I will argue that they occur under both onset and nucleus depending on presence of a preceding tautosyllabic consonant; when there is a tautosyllabic consonant before them, they occur under nucleus, whereas they occur under onset in the absence of that. Evidence that syllable-initial glides fill an onset comes from change of /p/ to [w] in syllable-initial position in p-irregular predicates and insertion of a glide between syllables as hiatus resolution. Evidence for glides after a tautosyllabic consonant as nuclear segments comes from optional deletion of /j/ and change of /w/ to [ɥ] between a tautosyllabic consonant and a front vowel, diphthongization of rounded vowels within nucleus, nucleus degemination, and change of /j/ followed by a rounded vowel to [ɥ] followed by an unrounded vowel. It is also true cross-linguistically that glides are both onset and nuclear segments. I cite examples from Spanish, Slovak, and French.
