Loanwords are the words taken into one language from another. The pronunciation differences between recipient language and loanwords result from different phonemic systems and phonotactic patterning between two languages. In this paper, some English loanwords in Korean are analysed by Optimality Theory with violable constraints and their ranking that is very different from Generative Phonology.
This paper is not to argue whether the phonology of loanwords is exclusively based on recipient language's or independent loanwords' but to show some kinds of constraints and rankings for explaining it.
