This study accounts for the difference in transferability of a Korean morphophonological rule (t-palatalization) and phonological process (s-palatalization) to L2 within the constraint-based framework. Kim (2002) accounts for Korean palatalization by positing two levels of ranking hierarchy―(a) [PAL & R-ANCHOR(stem; σ]Adjacent Segments >> PAL >> IDENT(ant) and (b) [PAL & R-ANCHOR(stem; σ]Adjacent Segments >> IDENT(ant) >> PAL. We have seen that the former ranking involved in the L1 phonological process (s-palatalization) is transferred to L2, and the latter ranking related to the L1 morphophonological rule is not transferred. In addition, we could account for correct pronunciation by re-ranking the relevant constraints―IDENT(ant) >> [PAL & R-ANCHOR(stem; σ]Adjacent Segments >> PAL.
