중세국어의 격조사 생락에 대한 고찰

Abstract

This study aims at the systematic investigation for the ellipsis of case marker in Middle Korean, which is discussed centering around the materials of the 15th century and the Sokdok Gugyol of Koryo Dynasty. The ellipsis phenomenon was studied by using hgrep97 on the subject of Seokbosangjeol and Sokdok Gugyol. From the results, it can be known that the ellipsis of the nominative and objective cases was often occurred more than the other case markers including the adverb case in both the 15th century and the period of Koryo. In particular, it was found that the predicates which appeared with the ellipsis of the nominative cases were the existence and state verbs in both the 15th century and the period of Koryo. In addition, it was found that there were the predicates showing the difference between the argument structure in the 15th century and the argument structure in the period of Koryo. The predicates are ‘dahʌ-, ani-, sam-’, and ‘nireu-’. In the material of Gugyol, ‘dahʌ-, ani-’ did not accompany the case marker for the NP2 argument, which present a striking contrast to the materials in the 15th century. Compared with the 15th century in which both ‘NP1-lul NP2-lul sam-’ and ‘NP1-lo NP2-lul sam-’ were realized, ‘NP1-lul NP2-lul sam-’ did not realized in the material of Gugyol. In addition, the Sokdok Gugyol shows ‘NP1-e nireu-’ in contrast to the ellipsis of the adverb case in the 15th century.
