The Constructional Principles of Korean Connective Sentences with ‘-deoni’
Kyunghee Chang · Korean Linguistics · 2018
In this paper, I have searched for the sequence relation and the constructional principles of Korean connective sentences with ‘-deoni’. First, I have described the characteristics of the sequence relation, and have outlined the ordinary language expressions used to order events. The constructional principles of the connective sentences with ‘-deoni’ were examined in relation to the final endings. Several types of the connective sentence, ‘-deoni ~ -neunda’, ‘-deoni ~ -ne’, ‘-deoni ~ -deola’, ‘-deoni ~ -eo’, and ‘-deoni ~ guna’ have been discussed. I have concluded that the connective sentences, ‘-deoni ~ -neunda’ are constructed through the arrangement of the event occurrence space, and connective sentences, ‘-deoni ~ -ne’, through the speaker’s perception space. It was also observed that the connective sentences with ‘-deoni’ can be constructed through the mixed arrangement of space. I have considered that ‘-deoni ~ -deola’ connective sentences are formed due to the transitional change of the speaker’s being space to the speaker’s away space. The remarkable sequence relations in connective sentences with ‘-deoni’ were explained by sequential order between speaker’s being space and the speaker’s away space.
