‘-으러’와 ‘-으려고’ 연구

Abstract

This article is a study on meaning and function of Korean connective endings ‘-으러’ and ‘-으려고’. And I clarify the distinction between ‘-으러’ clauses and ‘-으려고’ clauses. On the basis of this distinction, I proposed that the structure of Korean complex sentences are different according to connective endings. I analyzed the corpus to clarify the meanings and functions of ‘-으러’ and ‘-으려고’. We can overcome the errors of instinctive inference by analyzing corpus. The meaning of connective ending ‘-으러’ is the purpose on moving. But the connective ending ‘-으려고’ signify subject's intention. The verbs in ‘-으러’ clauses -subordinate clauses- must be the verbs expressing concrete actions, the verbs in superordinate sentences must be the movement verbs eg. ‘가다, 오다...’. And ‘-으러’ subordinate clauses can be substituted the location complement ‘에’ noun phrases in ‘가다, 오다’ sentences. ‘-으러’ is the ending connecting phrases but ‘-으러’ is the ending connecting sentences. ‘-으러’ clauses have adverbial character than ‘-으려고’ clauses. Therefore Korean connective endings can be divided fuzzy groups according to connecting sentences or phrases or words.
