담화 표지 ‘-는’/‘-가’와 화자 시점 - 코퍼스 언어학적 접근 -

Abstract

Various linguistic notions subsumed by or closely related to point of view have been discussed under different terms in different frameworks (e.g. deictic center, empathy, subjectivity). These show that grammatical forms in the sentence depend in some way on the speaker’s point of view. This paper aims to propose that Korean discourse markers ‘-nun’ and ‘-ga’ can represent the speaker’s point of view toward the sentence as a system, i.e. a deictic center, subjectivity, human animacy or activity marker ‘-nun’ and a speaker-distal, objectivity, thing animacy or passivity marker ‘-ga’. This also implies that various properties related to the speaker’s point of view can be subsumed under just two categories. In this paper, quantitative patterns of these markers based on verbs sensitive to point of view, as found in the 21 Century Sejong Treebank, are estimated by statistical method Correspondence Analysis.
