I just completed a survey distributed by our provost's office. It purported to ask about our views and approach to AI in teaching, but it was multiple choice and definitely had this kind of energy.

I didn't think that was possible? I thought you have to have separate accounts for each journal (you could set up the same login credentials for each, however, which would make it seem like the same account).

There was a Cuchara at Mecenatpolis at Hapjeong station and I ate there all the time. It was my go-to dinner when I was coming home from work and didn't feel like cooking. It was good!

More back to your original question about the mental reality of /h/ in those words, I do wonder if there are some frequency effects. Coda /h/ in verb stems is pretty rare in Korean, and 좋다 and 놓다 are two really frequent cases, but there are also much less common words like 빻다 'to grind'.

I might instead compare to other verbs like 꼬다 'to twist' or better yet 쪼다 'to chisel'. The problem is that they are not as high frequency as 좋다, and that might influence how much reduction you get, and hence glide formation.

As far as what's happening phonetically, I'm not sure if anyone has looked at glides in cases like 좋아 vs. 봐. There is a modest literature on /w/-deletion but it's focused on cases of underlying /w/. Interestingly, 봐 is maybe not the best comparison because you get less /w/ in post-bilabial contexts.

Hm I'm not so sure. I think there are two issues: what happens phonetically, and what happens orthographically. In the case of orthography, you don't usually see a glide for 좋다 (i.e. 좌) but you can easily observe it for 놓다 'to put' (i.e. 놔). So whatever is happening, it's not about /h/ in general.

Hm Steve might have thoughts! He hasn't worked on this in Korean but he has worked on the cognitive representation of /h/'s featural weirdness.

A somewhat chance encounter with Prof. Chungmin Lee of Seoul National University, in which he illustrated things like contrastive focus and scalar implicature, and I was like "Wait, this is something you can study?"

And that, friends, is how you get a BS in Accounting and a PhD in Linguistics.

In Korean, the expression I know (목청껏) refers to vocal cords. It uses a particle that means like "to the extent possible", and so it's roughly "pushing my vocal cords to the brink".
