Abstract
This study investigates the linguistic and social constraints affecting the variable realization of underlying non-initial/o/in Seoul Korean. The variation is limited to bound morphemes, adverbs with certain endings and a few nouns. An examination of historical data suggested that it might be part of a change from/o/to/u/that occurred in most of the mono-morphemic native Korean words during the 19th century.
