초록
This study explores the meaning of Korean responsive particles (RP), ney and aniyo, in comparison to English yes and no, and shows that Korean RPs are anaphoric expressions that refer back to the antecedent proposition available from the preceding question or sentence. Korean RPs are explained based on the combination of Krifka's (2013) anaphoric approach and Farkas&Roelofseon’s (2012) notion of ‘relative’ function of English RPs. The positive and negative RPs are analyzed as serving anaphoric functions that take the antecedent proposition p and ASSERT(p) and ASSERT(not(p)), respectively. Additionally, it is shown that there is another version of positive RP, namely kiyo, which is structurally and morphologically parallel to the negative aniyo, whose existence can be regarded as evidence for the anaphoric nature of the RPs in Korean. Finally, it is shown that Korean RPs as anaphors can take only one antecedent, introduced by the outermost phrase of the preceding utterance, which explains why they are not ambiguous, whereas English RPs, which can take multiple antecedents, are ambiguous.
Abstract
This study explores the meaning of Korean responsive particles (RP), ney and aniyo, in comparison to English yes and no, and shows that Korean RPs are anaphoric expressions that refer back to the antecedent proposition available from the preceding question or sentence.

The positive and negative RPs are analyzed as serving anaphoric functions that take the antecedent proposition p and ASSERT(p) and ASSERT(not(p)), respectively. Additionally, it is shown that there is another version of positive RP, namely kiyo, which is structurally and morphologically parallel to the negative aniyo, whose existence can be regarded as evidence for the anaphoric nature of the RPs in Korean. Finally, it is shown that Korean RPs as anaphors can take only one antecedent, introduced by the outermost phrase of the preceding utterance, which explains why they are not ambiguous, whereas English RPs, which can take multiple antecedents, are ambiguous.
