In the underlying level, Uljin dialect are three tone systems which consist of one unmarked tone, and two marked tones (cheuk-sheongs). The unmarked tone is H (the plain tone) and two marked tones are M (the phonetically simple tone), and H (the phonetically complex tone). The plain tone H permits the opposition of H and M in the following syllable. And the marked tones are neutralized as M in the environment of 'H --'. Any tone (H, M or H ) is neutralized as M in the environment of '{M, H} -'. The relation between three traditional tones and three underlying tones is as is the following table. Because of the neutralization effect. the kinds of tone - connection, tonological patterns, are extremely restricted in a prosodic word. Thus we can find three tonological patterns - phyeong - cheuk pattern, complex tone pattern H1M"', geosheong pattern 'M1' and shangsheong pattern 'H' in Uljin dialect. The tonological patterns of the two dialects are
