The rime as a viable phonological unit in English has been supported by a wide range of sources of evidence: language acquisition, speech errors, a rime-based poetic tradition, experimental word games, etc. In Korean, however, there is evidence for CV (or the body), a unit composed of a vowel and the preceding consonant. This paper discusses (I) some evidence for the body unit in Korean, (II) a word-blending experiment that shows the correlation between the sonority value of a prevocalic consonant and its stickiness to the vowel, and (III) a recent extension involving sound similarity judgments that confirms the body as a major sub-syllabic unit in Korean.
