The purpose of this paper is to show that abbreviation in Korean loanword phonology is not unsystematic and so should not be considered as an irregular process. Therefore, this paper proposes that truncation processes in Korean loanword phonology result from attempts to match non-native perception of the Lb input within the confines of Ls grammar, in accordance to the SBcorr model (Smith 2006, 2009). In this approach, speakers of Lb (i.e. Korean learners) rely on a variety of factors such as phonological and phonetic knowledge of Ls (i.e. English) and Lb, orthography, historical factors, morphology, and so on. This paper proposes two types of constraints: one for continuous truncation and the other for discontinuous abbreviation. For the continuous abridged loanwords, this paper formulates constraints Base-Identity, ensuring a faithfulness relation between a base and a pLs form, Max-Compoundhead, Align-Stem-Left, and Anchor-Left to cover the diverse data on loanword truncation. On the other hand, Alignment of Edges emerges for discontinuous truncated loanwords derived from English compounds; this constraint preserves the first segment of the first stem and the last segment of the second stem in Ls compounds. By facilitating the SBcorr model and Base-Identity, this paper provides a uniform analysis to both of the continuous and discontinuous truncation patterns in Korean loanword phonology.
