초록
This study concerns the meaning generated from a particle –nun in Korean combined with a prosodic accent and the characteristic pragmatic behavior of the sentences containing it. In my previous research, I have argued that the alleged Topic marker –nun generates an existential presupposition of a contrastive alternative. In this paper, I will illustrate how the existential presupposition enables the utterances containing –nun obtain different felicity values from the canonical case marked ones in various pragmatic contexts. Speaker’s presupposition and common ground (Stalnaker1972, 1974) and accommodation (Lewis1979) will be adopted to explain the felicity differences between –nun and a case marker in the aspect of the amount of information obtained from the existential presupposition, not in the aspect of information structure differences.
Abstract
This study concerns the meaning generated from a particle –nun in Korean combined with a prosodic accent and the characteristic pragmatic behavior of the sentences containing it. In my previous research, I have argued that the alleged Topic marker –nun generates an existential presupposition of a contrastive alternative. In this paper, I will illustrate how the existential presupposition enables the utterances containing –nun obtain different felicity values from the canonical case marked ones in various pragmatic contexts. Speaker’s presupposition and common ground (Stalnaker1972, 1974) and accommodation (Lewis1979) will be adopted to explain the felicity differences between –nun and a case marker in the aspect of the amount of information obtained from the existential presupposition, not in the aspect of information structure differences.
