전남방언에서 '사람'을 의미하는 파생접미사 '-보'의 특성

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the properties of noun derivational suffix '-po' in Chonnam dialect. The suffix '-po' appeared in 100 years in Korean language before. So we expected that this new suffix shows different action in word formation in central dialect from in chonnam dialect. Actually the new suffix shows two major differences between both dialects. First, the suffix '-po' can combine noun base, verb base, adjective base, adverb base, derived noun with '-ㅁ' suffix base, and incomplete base in central dialect. But, in chonnam dialect, the suffix '-po' cannot combine adjective base. Second, in chonnam dialect, the suffix '-po' can produce the syntactic derivation word, 'ojimssapo'(오짐싸보), this means the new suffix '-po' in chonnam dialect can over the bound of lexicon to the syntactic component and acts like a syntactic derivational suffix, but not in central dialect. This is meaningful and heavy difference between two dialects. The study such as this paper, let us make a comparison one dilaect and the other dialect in word formational rule.
