結果의 ‘-라고’와 目的의 ‘-자고’에 對하여

Abstract

This study argues that ‘-lago’ functions as an ending which expresses result and ‘-jago’ functions as an ending which expresses purpose. Their syntactic, semantic characteristics are also suggested. ‘-lago’ and ‘-jago’ can be analyzed as simple combination of final ending of the quote and quotative markers. But they are single endings which express result and purpose respectively. The clauses which they combine are not complements of quotative verbs. Any specific speeches which are given to actual hearers cannot be found. Adjectives which cannot be used in imperative and propositive can come before ‘-lago’ and ‘-jago’. The clauses which they combine cannot be substituted by ‘geureohge’ and by question words such as ‘mwolago’, ‘eotteohge’. ‘Go’ of ‘-lago’ and ‘-jago’ cannot be deleted and sequences like ‘-dalago’ and ‘-jalago’ are impossible. ‘-lago’ as a conjunctive ending denote characteristics like the following; the subject of the first clause need not to be same as that of the second clause. The second clause cannot be imperative. Among prefinal endings for tense, neither ‘-ess-’ nor ‘-gess-’ comes before ‘-lago’. Characteristics of ‘-jago’ are like the following; the subject of the first clause should be same as that of the second clause. The second clause cannot be either imperative or propositive. Neither ‘-ess-’ nor ‘-gess-’ comes before ‘-lago’. The second clauses which are interrogatives tend to be rhetorical questions.
