Convert Korean orthography into IPA transcriptions

Use 'Hangul to IPA' with the interface below

See [readme] for more information.

한글 = [hɑŋɡɯl]

 

Scroll down a bit, and you'll find a cool web interface that lets you transcribe '한글' into IPA [hɑŋɡɯl]. Transcription is the first step for any phonological inquiries and the app helps you with transcribing Korean expressions in IPA symbols. You can also check out how the IPA symbols changes as you apply (or not apply) a Korean phonological rule.

스크롤을 조금만 내리시면 나오는 인터페이스를 통해 '한글'을 [hɑŋɡɯl] 과 같이 IPA로 변환할 수 있습니다. 이러한 것을 전사하기(transcribe) 라고 합니다. 음운론 연구를 위한 첫걸음입니다. 또한 음운 규칙 적용에 따라 (가상의) IPA 표출이 어떻게 달라지는지도 볼 수 있습니다.

 

 

간단히, 아래 스크린샷에서 예시된 것처럼 좌측 텍스트 박스에 한글을 쓰면, 우측에 자동으로 IPA 변환됩니다. (더 자세한 한글설명서)

Please refer to the screenshot below for basic use cases. Write orthographic Korean (such as 입력하세요 'please type in') in the textbox in red and the converted IPA transcription shows up on the right side. ([read me] for details.)

 

사용 예시

 

 

(혹시 바로 아래에 아무것도 안뜨고 흰 공백만 보인다면, 앱이 로드되는 중이므로 5초에서 10초정도 기다리시거나 '새로고침'해주세요)

이 앱은 어떠한 프로젝트의 일부도 아니기 때문에 펀딩도 없습니다. 그래서 사비를 들여서 서버를 유지하고 있습니다. 이미 아시겠지만, 사용할 때 공짜라고 아무 비용도 없는 것이 아닙니다. 그러니 앱이 마음에 드셨으면 아래 버튼으로 커피 한잔 사주세요(Buy me a coffee). 혹은 지갑 안 꺼내고도 도움을 줄 수 있는 방법을 고려해주세요! 모든 수입은 유지비로 사용됩니다. 감사합니다 🥰

 

 

If you only see blank space below, wait for 5-10 seconds until it loads up. You may also refresh the page.

This app is not part of any project, and no funding is eartagged for it. I maintain the server at my own expense. If you like the app, please click below to 'buy me a coffee.' Thank you 🥰

Transcribing 한글

한글 (Hangul or Hangeul) is the writing system natively used in both North and South Korea to transcribe the Korean language. Unsurprisingly, Korean speakers generally do not rely on other writing systems. Using Chinese characters is not the norm among the speakers, let alone the Roman alphabet. However, for linguistic research of Korean, there are two obvious downsides of Hangul. First, the international audience does not readily recognize Hangul. Second, Hangul is syllabic, meaning that representing sub-syllabic structures is difficult with Hangul.

Therefore, researchers need a means of converting Hangul characters. Hangul phonemically represents monomorphemic words faithfully, so there is a fairly reliable correspondence between each sub-component of Hangul (called 자모 camo) and an IPA symbol.

The target audience of this program is researchers in Korean linguistics who may find it tedious to blindly translate one phonemic system (i.e., Hangul) to another. The original motivation for this web application was to automatically convert 한글 into IPA symbols, e.g., [hɑŋɡɯl], hence the name.

In addition to the IPA system, it can also convert Hangul to the Yale Romanization system. The Yale system is the convention used by researchers in English-speaking countries. Other romanization conventions include the Revised Romanization of Korean (RR), McCune-Reischauer (MR), and Romanization of Korean (RK). RR is the standard in South Korea and the K-pop fandom. For non-Yale romanization systems, please refer to the following:

Phonological rules in Korean

This web app is an automaton that blindly applies SPE-styled phonological rules to an underlying form. The Hangul input is assumed to be a faithful representation of the underlying representation. These rules are not sensitive to an extra-phonological environment. Therefore, the results of the app can differ a lot from the actual pronunciation. Take this as a disclaimer!! For reference on the rules applied in this app, please see Shin, Kiaer, and Cha (2012) Ch. 8.

K-SPAN (Holliday, Turnbull, and Eychenne 2017) is a similar but quite different resource on applying phonological rules to Korean words. The difference is that this web app allows Hangul non-words. You can even enter something like ㅋㅋㄹㅃㅃ.
