한국어 ‘-고 (그리고)’와 ‘-지만 (그러나)’ 대등구문의 해석: ‘나열’과 ‘대립’의 의미를 중심으로

Abstract

We can observe that Korean speakers use concatenated forms consisting of a connective ending and a conjunctive adverb. This is called Conjunctive Concatenation(CC). This study aims to explore the discourse function of Korean CC and how CC influences coordinate construction construal. Specifically, this study compares the focus distributions of coordinate constructions using a connective ending(-ko and -ciman) with those of coordinate constructions using a CC(-ko kuliko and -ciman kulena). For this purpose, an online experiment was conducted among 95 Korean native speakers and 91 responses were analyzed by Chi-square test and frequency analysis. Participants were asked to indicate where the focus was placed in the given constructions. The result showed that there was a difference between the aspects of coordinate construction construal according to the form and meaning of connective expressions. This suggests that the conceptualizer’s construal is not always fixed and Korean CC operates as a factor which gives each clause of coordinate construction a different focus, and results in different aspects of construal.
