95-406: Historically, the city of what is now Seoul has been called in various names, including Wiryeseong , Bukhansangun , Hanyang , Namgyeong , Hanyangbu , and Hanseong . The name Seoul ( 서울 ; IPA : /səˈul/ ), was originally an old native Korean common noun meaning "capital city." It is believed to have originated from Seorabeol ( 서라벌 ; 徐羅伐 ), which originally referred to Gyeongju ,

190-483: A pitch trace on a musical scale . Beyond the letters themselves, there are a variety of secondary symbols which aid in transcription. Diacritic marks can be combined with the letters to add tone and phonetic detail such as secondary articulation . There are also special symbols for prosodic features such as stress and intonation. There are two principal types of brackets used to set off (delimit) IPA transcriptions: Less common conventions include: All three of

285-513: A chart; the chart displayed here is the official chart as posted at the website of the IPA. The letters chosen for the IPA are meant to harmonize with the Latin alphabet . For this reason, most letters are either Latin or Greek , or modifications thereof. Some letters are neither: for example, the letter denoting the glottal stop , ⟨ ʔ ⟩, originally had the form of a question mark with

380-483: A conflicting use to delimit prosodic transcription within the Voice Quality Symbols , which are an extension of IPA used in extIPA, but are not otherwise used in IPA proper. Other delimiters sometimes seen are pipes and double pipes taken from Americanist phonetic notation . However, these conflict with the pipes used in basic IPA prosodic transcription. Other delimiters are double slashes, –

475-501: A department for nursing was established, which was the forerunner of the later College of Nursing. During the Japanese rule , Keijō Imperial University was established as one of Japan's nine imperial universities . After World War II and the independence of Korea, the name of the university was changed from Keijō Teikoku Daigaku (京城帝国大学) to Gyeongseong Daehak (경성대학, 京城大學, Gyeongseong University). The Hanja that were used in

570-486: A digital library, which in addition to the regular library collection provides access to university publications, ancient texts, and theses. Included here are images of pamphlets, lecture slides, and insects. The digital library offers access to video of university exhibitions, scientific events, symposia, and seminars. The library was opened in 1946 as the "Seoul National University Central Library" and inherited its facilities and books from Keijō Imperial University. In 1949,

665-571: A key repository of Korean historical records and a centre for research and publication of the annual journal Kyujanggak . Seoul National University Museum is located at the Gwanak Campus. It opened alongside the university in 1946 under the name "The Seoul National University Museum Annex." The original two-story Dongsung-dong building, which was erected in 1941, had served as the Keijō Imperial University Museum until it

Authors who employ such nonstandard use are encouraged to include a chart or other explanation of their choices, which is good practice in general, as linguists differ in their understanding of the exact meaning of IPA symbols and common conventions change over time. Many British dictionaries, including

855-695: A row left out to save space. In the table below, a slightly different arrangement is made: All pulmonic consonants are included in the pulmonic-consonant table, and the vibrants and laterals are separated out so that the rows reflect the common lenition pathway of stop → fricative → approximant , as well as the fact that several letters pull double duty as both fricative and approximant; affricates may then be created by joining stops and fricatives from adjacent cells. Shaded cells represent articulations that are judged to be impossible or not distinctive. Vowel letters are also grouped in pairs—of unrounded and rounded vowel sounds—with these pairs also arranged from front on

950-591: A semester or a year at partner institutions such as the Singapore Management University , National Taiwan University , Sciences Po , Sorbonne University , University College London , and the University of Warwick . There are issues concerning diversity and racial discrimination against foreign professors at SNU. There was an effort to recruit foreign professors for several years from 2009 onwards, with numbers peaking at 242 or 4% of

1045-451: A single building. The Kyujanggak, also spelled "Gyujanggak", was the royal library during the Joseon period. It was founded in 1776 by order of King Jeongjo of Joseon , at which time it was located on the grounds of Changdeokgung . Today known as Kyujanggak Royal Library or Kyujanggak Archives are maintained by Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies ( 규장각한국학연구원 ) at SNU. It functions as

1140-572: A training school for teachers and Euihakkyo (1899), a medical school, are also considered the origins of respective colleges. After the proclamation of the Korean Empire in 1897, Gojong, the then emperor, was motivated to create more modern education institutions. In 1899, a medical school was established. This school changed its name several times to Daehan Euiwon Gyoyukbu and Gyeongseong Euihak Jeonmunhakgyo (Gyeongseong Medical College) and finally became College of Medicine of SNU. In 1901,

Opera librettos are authoritatively transcribed in IPA, such as Nico Castel 's volumes and Timothy Cheek's book Singing in Czech . Opera singers' ability to read IPA was used by the site Visual Thesaurus , which employed several opera singers "to make recordings for

1330-722: A year and a half, there was a protest movement by students and professors against the law of the U.S. military government in Korea merging colleges. Finally, 320 professors were fired and more than 4,950 students left the school. The university's second president was Lee Choon-ho ( 이춘호 ; 李春昊 ), who served beginning in October 1947. The College of Law was founded by merging the law department of Kyŏngsŏng University (Keijō Imperial University) with Kyŏngsŏng Law College. The university absorbed Seoul College of Pharmacy in September 1950, as

1425-891: Is a public research university located in Seoul , South Korea. It is one of the SKY universities and a part of the Flagship Korean National Universities . The university's main campus is located in Gwanak , and two additional campuses are located in Daehangno and Pyeongchang . The university comprises sixteen colleges, one graduate school and nine professional schools. The student body consists of nearly 17,000 undergraduate and 11,000 graduate students. Seoul National University (SNU) originates from various educational institutions established by King Gojong of

1520-497: Is a close transliteration of Seoul in Mandarin Chinese ; 首 ( shǒu ) can also mean "first" or "capital". For some time after the name change, Chinese-language news media have used both names interchangeably during their publications or broadcasts ( 首爾 [漢城] in print, 首爾, 以前的漢城 [literally: Shouer, formerly Hancheng] in television and radio). The change was intended for Chinese speakers only, and has no effect on

1615-555: Is a university that goes by that exact reading in Chinese: Hansung University ( 한성대학교 ; 漢城大學校 ). Beginning in 2005, the Seoul City Government under Lee Myung-bak designated a new Chinese term for Seoul: Chinese : 首爾 ; Chinese : 首尔 ; pinyin : Shǒu'ěr . The name was chosen by a select committee out of two names, the other being 首午爾 ; Shǒuwu'ěr . The chosen name

1710-653: Is distributed for free every Monday. The school paper is not available during schools breaks or exams. SNU graduates dominate South Korea's academics, government, politics and business. A KEDI study found that the university's name-value translates into wages that are on average about 12 percent higher than that of any other Korean university. Approximately one in four Korean university presidents obtained their undergraduate degree at SNU. Between 2003 and 2009, more students who graduated from science high schools and received presidential scholarships matriculated at SNU than at eight other leading universities combined. The chiefs of

The Journal of the IPA finds it acceptable to mix IPA and extIPA symbols in consonant charts in their articles. (For instance, including the extIPA letter ⟨ 𝼆 ⟩ , rather than ⟨ ʎ̝̊ ⟩, in an illustration of

1900-705: Is located behind the university administrative building in the 62nd block of the Gwanak Campus. The chief librarian, Dr. Kim Jong-seo, professor of religious studies in the College of Humanities, took office in 2009. Following the completion of Kwanjeong Library in February 2015, the SNU Library reached a size of 57,747 square meters. As of 2022, the library is home to 5.2 million volumes of books as well as over 260,000 academic journals and e-journals, and over 230,000 non-book materials. The Central Library has constructed

The University Newspaper ( 대학신문 ; 大學新聞 ; Daehak Sinmun ) is school's student newspaper . The first edition of the paper was launched during the Korean War, on February 4, 1952. In 1953 it

2185-528: Is not always accessible to sight-impaired readers who rely on screen reader technology. Double angle brackets may occasionally be useful to distinguish original orthography from transliteration, or the idiosyncratic spelling of a manuscript from the normalized orthography of the language. Pipes are sometimes used instead of double angle brackets to denote the distinct allographs of a grapheme that are known as glyphs . For example, print | g | and script | ɡ | are two glyph variants of

2280-519: The Goryeo period (918–1392). The city was called Hanyangbu ( 한양부 ; 漢陽府 ) under Mongol rule (1270–1356), and Hanseong ( 한성 ; 漢城 ) or Hanyang ( 한양 ; 漢陽 ) in the Joseon period (1392–1897). During the Joseon era, it started to be called Seoul by the public. In the middle of Joseon era, Hanseong and Hanyang were almost replaced by Seoul and remained only formal names. During

2375-466: The Handbook recommended against their use, as cursive IPA is "harder for most people to decipher". A braille representation of the IPA for blind or visually impaired professionals and students has also been developed. The International Phonetic Alphabet is occasionally modified by the Association. After each modification, the Association provides an updated simplified presentation of the alphabet in

2470-460: The Hebrew alphabet for transcription of foreign words. Bilingual dictionaries that translate from foreign languages into Russian usually employ the IPA, but monolingual Russian dictionaries occasionally use pronunciation respelling for foreign words. The IPA is more common in bilingual dictionaries, but there are exceptions here too. Mass-market bilingual Czech dictionaries, for instance, tend to use

2565-570: The IPA extensions . In the IPA itself, however, only lower-case letters are used. The 1949 edition of the IPA handbook indicated that an asterisk ⟨*⟩ might be prefixed to indicate that a word was a proper name, but this convention was not included in the 1999 Handbook , which notes the contrary use of the asterisk as a placeholder for a sound or feature that does not have a symbol. The IPA has widespread use among classical singers during preparation as they are frequently required to sing in

2660-566: The International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association in 1994. They were substantially revised in 2015. The general principle of the IPA is to provide one letter for each distinctive sound ( speech segment ). This means that: The alphabet is designed for transcribing sounds (phones), not phonemes , though it is used for phonemic transcription as well. A few letters that did not indicate specific sounds have been retired (⟨ ˇ ⟩, once used for

2755-458: The Joseon dynasty . Several of them were integrated into various colleges when SNU was founded later. To modernize the country, Gojong initiated the establishment of modern higher education institutions. By means of the issue of a royal order, the law academy Beopkwan Yangseongso  [ ko ] has been founded on March 25, 1895. It produced 209 graduates including the later envoy Yi Tjoune . Hanseong Sabeomhakgyo (established in 1895),

2850-606: The Korean language ). This has caused problems in translating between Chinese and Korean, as Chinese terms for Korean places often are a direct reading of the Hanja names. Until recently, some Chinese sources used the older name "Hanseong" ( 한성 ; 漢城 ) to refer to Seoul, as that term does have corresponding Hanja. However, this led to some confusion. For example, the name of Seoul National University ( 서울대학교 ; 서울大學校 ) would be rendered as "Hanseong University", but there already

2945-792: The Oxford English Dictionary and some learner's dictionaries such as the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary and the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary , now use the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent the pronunciation of words. However, most American (and some British) volumes use one of a variety of pronunciation respelling systems, intended to be more comfortable for readers of English and to be more acceptable across dialects, without

When the IPA is used for broad phonetic or for phonemic transcription, the letter–sound correspondence can be rather loose. The IPA has recommended that more 'familiar' letters be used when that would not cause ambiguity. For example, ⟨ e ⟩ and ⟨ o ⟩ for [ɛ] and [ɔ] , ⟨ t ⟩ for [t̪] or [ʈ] , ⟨ f ⟩ for [ɸ] , etc. Indeed, in

It was devised by the International Phonetic Association in

3420-733: The Greek alphabet, though their sound values may differ from Greek. For most Greek letters, subtly different glyph shapes have been devised for the IPA, specifically ⟨ ɑ ⟩, ⟨ ꞵ ⟩, ⟨ ɣ ⟩, ⟨ ɛ ⟩, ⟨ ɸ ⟩, ⟨ ꭓ ⟩ and ⟨ ʋ ⟩, which are encoded in Unicode separately from their parent Greek letters. One, however – ⟨ θ ⟩ – has only its Greek form, while for ⟨ ꞵ ~ β ⟩ and ⟨ ꭓ ~ χ ⟩, both Greek and Latin forms are in common use. The tone letters are not derived from an alphabet, but from

IPA letters have been incorporated into the alphabets of various languages, notably via the Africa Alphabet in many sub-Saharan languages such as Hausa , Fula , Akan , Gbe languages , Manding languages , Lingala , etc. Capital case variants have been created for use in these languages. For example, Kabiyè of northern Togo has Ɖ ɖ , Ŋ ŋ , Ɣ ɣ , Ɔ ɔ , Ɛ ɛ , Ʋ ʋ . These, and others, are supported by Unicode , but appear in Latin ranges other than

A precise phonetic transcription, in which sounds are specified in detail, is known as a narrow transcription . A coarser transcription with less detail is called a broad transcription. Both are relative terms, and both are generally enclosed in square brackets. Broad phonetic transcriptions may restrict themselves to easily heard details, or only to details that are relevant to

Seorabeol , which also appears in old texts as "Seonabeol" ( 서나벌 ; 徐那伐 ), "Seobeol" ( 서벌 ; 徐伐 ) or "Seoyabeol" ( 서야벌 ; 徐耶伐 ), is theorized to have originated from the word seora (which comes from an ancient word meaning "high and holy") and beol (which means "field"). During the Korean Three Kingdoms Period ,

The choice of IPA letters may reflect theoretical claims of how speakers conceptualize sounds as phonemes or they may be merely a convenience for typesetting. Phonemic approximations between slashes do not have absolute sound values. For instance, in English, either

5035-658: The consonant is produced. The main chart includes only consonants with a single place of articulation. Notes Non-pulmonic consonants are sounds whose airflow is not dependent on the lungs. These include clicks (found in the Khoisan languages and some neighboring Bantu languages of Africa), implosives (found in languages such as Sindhi , Hausa , Swahili and Vietnamese ), and ejectives (found in many Amerindian and Caucasian languages ).

The capacity of the arena is 5,000 and was built in 1986 to host table tennis and badminton (demonstration) events at the 1988 Summer Olympics . The dormitory of SNU is named Gwanaksa ( 관악사 ). Dormitories for undergraduate and graduate students as well as families are located here. It

6650-542: The name is pronounced "sau2 yi5", or in Shanghainese , in which the new name ( 首爾 ) is pronounced "sew2 el3." Those critics have said that the names " 西蔚 " or " 徐蔚 " (the latter being the ancient name of Seoul) would have been much more effective in representing the city's Korean name. On a 1751 map of China and Korea prepared in France, Seoul was marked as "King-Ki-Tao, Capitale de la Corée", using an approximation of

6745-462: The name of the library was changed to the "Seoul National University Library Annex". When the main branch of the library was relocated to the Gwanak Campus in January 1975, it was renamed the "Seoul National University Library", and then renamed again in 1992 as the "Seoul National University Central Library". In 1966, provisions were made to systematize the library's collections. The original library

6840-522: The name were pronounced in the Korean reading and the attribute "Imperial" was removed. The renaming to "National" was based on the academic nationalism supported by the US military regime in Korea at the time. SNU was founded on August 27, 1946, by merging ten institutions of higher education around the Seoul area. The schools which have been merged were: The first president was Harry Bidwell Ansted . For over

6935-456: The period of Japanese colonial rule , Seoul was referred to by the Japanese exonym Keijō ( 京城 ) , or the Korean reading of that name Gyeongseong . After World War II and Korea's liberation , the city officially adopted its current name. "Gyeongseong" is a Sino-Korean word for "capital city". Gyeong ( 경 ; 京 ) means "capital" and seong ( 성 ; 城 ) means "walled city". It

7030-469: The pharyngeal and glottal columns), and the lateral flap would require an additional row for that single consonant, so they are listed instead under the catchall block of "other symbols". The indefinitely large number of tone letters would make a full accounting impractical even on a larger page, and only a few examples are shown, and even the tone diacritics are not complete; the reversed tone letters are not illustrated at all. The procedure for modifying

7125-554: The resurrection of letters for mid central vowels and the retirement of letters for voiceless implosives . The alphabet was last revised in May 2005 with the addition of a letter for a labiodental flap . Apart from the addition and removal of symbols, changes to the IPA have consisted largely of renaming symbols and categories and in modifying typefaces . Extensions to the International Phonetic Alphabet for speech pathology (extIPA) were created in 1990 and were officially adopted by

7220-427: The same notation as for morphophonology, – exclamation marks, and pipes. For example, ⟨ cot ⟩ would be used for the orthography of the English word cot , as opposed to its pronunciation /ˈkɒt/ . Italics are usual when words are written as themselves (as with cot in the previous sentence) rather than to specifically note their orthography. However, italics are sometimes ambiguous, and italic markup

7315-588: The separation of syllables . To represent additional qualities of speech—such as tooth gnashing , lisping , and sounds made with a cleft palate —an extended set of symbols may be used. Segments are transcribed by one or more IPA symbols of two basic types: letters and diacritics . For example, the sound of the English digraph ⟨ch⟩ may be transcribed in IPA with a single letter: [c] , or with multiple letters plus diacritics: [t̠̺͡ʃʰ] , depending on how precise one wishes to be. Slashes are used to signal phonemic transcription ; therefore, /tʃ/

7410-473: The sequence of consonants in gra ssh opper .) The IPA is also not universal among dictionaries in languages other than English. Monolingual dictionaries of languages with phonemic orthographies generally do not bother with indicating the pronunciation of most words, and tend to use respelling systems for words with unexpected pronunciations. Dictionaries produced in Israel use the IPA rarely and sometimes use

7505-417: The symbols were allowed to vary from language to language. For example, the sound [ ʃ ] (the sh in shoe ) was originally represented with the letter ⟨c⟩ for English but with ⟨x⟩ for French and German; with German, ⟨c⟩ was used for the [ x ] sound of Bach . With a growing number of transcribed languages this proved impractical, and in 1888

7600-576: The top 0.5% scorers in the annual government-administered scholastic achievement test applied to SNU and many of them were unsuccessful. Sixteen colleges of the university offer 83 undergraduate degree programs. For master and doctoral programs there is one graduate school with 99 programs from five fields of studies. The interdisciplinary programs are the ones invented and operated by more than two departments. In addition to that, there are twelve professional graduate schools. Seoul National University occupies two Seoul-based, one Pyeongchang-based campuses:

7695-695: The total. This number has declined, with a large proportion of the newer "foreign" recruits actually being former South Korean citizens who became naturalized as foreign citizens abroad. Many of the earlier batch of foreign professors left after complaining of racial discrimination against them, sometimes without even giving notice. SNU failed to boost its international reputation by offering contracts to Nobel laureates, but they are mostly retired and holding other academic posts elsewhere, are rarely on campus and sometimes leave before their contracts run out. Among its notable alumni are prominent figures in international organizations and businesses such as Ban Ki-moon ,

7790-622: The university acquired 826 thousand m (204 acres) of property in the west-coast economic zone, near the Songdo International Business District , Pyeongtaek harbor, international airport , seaport . The land acquisition will increase the university's size by 58% over its current 1.4 million square meters (350 acres) to 2.2 million square meters (550 acres) and headcount by an expected 10,000 people or 33% of its current figure. Along with lecture halls and additional liberal arts and graduate courses,

7885-483: The values of the letters were made uniform across languages. This would provide the base for all future revisions. Since its creation, the IPA has undergone a number of revisions. After relatively frequent revisions and expansions from the 1890s to the 1940s, the IPA remained nearly static until the Kiel Convention in 1989, which substantially revamped the alphabet. A smaller revision took place in 1993 with

7980-457: The vowel letters ⟨ a ⟩, ⟨ e ⟩, ⟨ i ⟩, ⟨ o ⟩, ⟨ u ⟩ correspond to the (long) sound values of Latin: [i] is like the vowel in mach i ne , [u] is as in r u le , etc. Other Latin letters, particularly ⟨ j ⟩, ⟨ r ⟩ and ⟨ y ⟩, differ from English, but have their IPA values in Latin or other European languages. This basic Latin inventory

8075-463: The vowel of pick or the vowel of peak may be transcribed as /i/ , so that pick , peak would be transcribed as /ˈpik, ˈpiːk/ or as /ˈpɪk, ˈpik/ ; and neither is identical to the vowel of the French pique , which would also be transcribed /pik/ . By contrast, a narrow phonetic transcription of pick , peak , pique could be: [pʰɪk] , [pʰiːk] , [pikʲ] . IPA is popular for transcription by linguists. Some American linguists, however, use

8170-547: The world according to the 2023 Times Higher Education World University Rankings . In 2023, its World Reputation Rankings were considered it to be 44th globally. Moreover, ARWU (2022) regarded SNU to be among 98th worldwide and the best in the country. CWUR 2020–2021 ranks SNU as 31st best in the world. QS University Subject Rankings (2018): 25th, Arts and Humanities ; 16th, Engineering and Technology ; 37th, Life Sciences and Medicine ; 21st, Social Sciences and Management ; 20th, Natural Sciences . The institute

8265-446: Was extended by adding small-capital and cursive forms, diacritics and rotation. The sound values of these letters are related to those of the original letters, and their derivation may be iconic. For example, letters with a rightward-facing hook at the bottom represent retroflex equivalents of the source letters, and small capital letters usually represent uvular equivalents of their source letters. There are also several letters from

8360-609: Was formerly located. Part of the former main campus in Jongno District is still used by the College of Medicine, the College of Dentistry and the College of Nursing and is now called Yeongeon Campus. In 2012, lawmakers reported that the ruling Saenuri Party , prior to the presidential election in December , seriously proposed a plan to relocate the university to the newly established special autonomous Sejong City . The move came as part of an overall effort to decentralize

8455-417: Was founded August 1975, with five Gwanaksa buildings and one welfare building, which housed 970 male students. The female dormitory was founded in February 1983. By June 2007, there were one administration building, two welfare buildings, 12 undergraduate dormitory buildings, six graduate students' dormitory buildings, which in total housed 3,680 students. Unlike other university dormitories in South Korea, there

8550-599: Was in Dongsung-dong, Jongno District . After the construction of a new main campus in Gwanak District in February 1975, most colleges of the university relocated to the new Gwanak Campus between 1975 and 1979 by the request of president Park Chung Hee who disliked student protests at the site where the Gwanak golf club  [ ko ] (founded in the early 1960s and relocated in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi )

8645-420: Was in occasional use to refer to Seoul throughout the Joseon dynasty, having earlier referred to the capitals of Goryeo and Silla. The term came into much wider use during the period of Japanese rule because it is also the Korean form of Keijō ( 京城 ) , the former Japanese name, which was used for Seoul during the colonial rule. Seoul was called "Hanseong" ( 漢城 ) or "Hanyang" ( 漢陽 ) during the Joseon dynasty but

8740-402: Was moved to Dongsung-dong in Seoul, where from 1958 even editions for high school were published. Financial difficulties in 1960 led the paper to cease printing for a time. It was relocated to the Gwanak Campus in 1975, where it has been in continuous publication until the present day. At the time of its first launch the paper was sold for 500 won a copy, sometimes twice a week. Now, however, it

8835-519: Was organized into 12 annexes for each of the university's colleges: engineering, education, physics, art, law, theology, pharmacology, music, medicine, dentistry, administration, and agricultural sciences. Two years later, in 1968, libraries for newspapers and the liberal arts were added to bring the number of annexes to 14. However, as the main branch was moved to the Gwanak Campus, the education, physics, legal, theological, administrative, newspaper, liberal arts, and pharmacological libraries were combined in

8930-820: Was ranked 20th in publications by a 2008 analysis of data from the Science Citation Index , and the following year ranked 8th in the world in clinical trials . In 2011, the Mines ParisTech: Professional Ranking World Universities reported that SNU is ranked 10th in the world in terms of the number of alumni holding CEO positions in Fortune 500 enterprises. SNU also had the third highest number of students who went on to earn Ph.Ds in American institutions in 2006. SNU students can study abroad for

9025-565: Was transferred intact to SNU. When the museum was moved to the sixth floor of the Central Library, in 1975, it was renamed the "Seoul National University Museum". The museum was then moved to newly constructed facilities, next to the Dongwon Building, in 1993, which it has occupied to this day. Dr. Park Nak-gyu is its director. The Seoul National University Museum of Art (SNUMoA) was established in 1995 with contributions from
