This study examines a salient intrasyllabic phonological unit in Korean, the body-coda unit, its role in literacy skills inKorean, and a possible source of the salience of body-coda units in the spoken language. Data were collected from Korean-speaking, monolingual beginning readers (41 kindergarteners, 40 first graders). The results indicate that body-coda boundary (e.g., ca-t) is more salient than onset–rime boundary (e.g., c-at) for Korean children and show that children’s body-coda awareness is an important predictor ofword decoding and spelling inKorean. Furthermore, the analysis of phonological neighbors and frequency of syllable types suggests that a phonotactic feature in Korean, the frequency of consonant–verb syllable type,may be a possible source of the saliency of the body-coda intrasyllabic division for Korean children.
