연결 어미 ‘-거드면’ 고찰

Abstract

This research investigated the examples of conjunctive ending ‘-geodeumyeon’ which were mostly used from the late 19th to early 20th century and determined that morpho-syntactic characteristics and the semantic function of ‘-geodeumyeon’. Unlike the findings of the previous researches, ‘-geodeumyeon’ does not show the restriction on the kind of predicates as well as a subject and sentence types of the following clause. Also this research found out a few examples that ‘-geodeumyeon’ followed the prefinal endings, such as ‘-si-’, ‘-ʌp-’, and ‘-at-’. This research especially found out that some examples of ‘-geodeumyeon’ expressed counterfactual hypothesis or a future event which a speaker speculated or presumed in the past tense of view, mainly when the following clause expressed past tense. This supports the analysis that ‘-geodeumyeon’ originally consists of ‘-get-(futureness) + -deo-(past tense) + -myeon(condition)’. This research also showed various examples of ‘-geodeumyeon’ that were produced by a speaker who did not speak a Jeolla dialect. This means that ‘-geodeumyeon’ was not a particular regional dialect, such as Jeolla dialect, as Choe(1992) proposed. This research presumed that ‘-geodeumyeon’ expressed a speaker’s speculation or presumption of future event in the past tense of view, but it underwent changes that it expresses simple presumption or condition such as ‘-myeon’, according to the historical change that ‘-deo-’ lost its function of past tense and obtained modality. However, it needs more detailed discussion in relation to other conditional expressions, such as ‘-geodeun’, ‘-myeon’, and ‘-l geot gateumyeon’. Also further study needs to examine the reason why the original form of ‘-geodeumyeon’, such as ‘*-getdeomyeon’, did not occur in any documents.
