This paper aims to analyze –e pota construction in Korean, in terms of functional restructuring. Building on previous analyses of obligatory control environments involving the verb try, it is argued that as a functional restructuring verb, pota primarily expresses a progressive aspect along with an intentional modal flavor, making its meaning closely resemble that of try. Given this, it is also claimed that constructions with –e pota constitute genuine instances of exhaustive control, thereby pota in this context is hard to be treated merely as a auxiliary verb in a traditional sense. Furthermore, by presenting a range of novel contexts that clearly reveal the semantic characteristics of each verb, we offer a viable way to understand the progressive aspectual differences between pota and try.
