Femme accent features in Korean

In Korean phonology, there are a number of accent features predominantly adopted by (younger) women speaking in casual settings. Some examples are listed here.

This page is limited to specific accent features and pronunciation quirks, but could be considered as a single aspect of the wider gender performance known as 애교 (aegyo).

-고 → -구

Pronouncing the conjunctive particle -고 as -구 is common, but especially so amongst women in Seoul.

-도요 → -두요

Pronouncing the particle -도 as -두 when followed by the politeness particle -요.
