동시 표현 연결어미 비교 연구 - 연결어미 ‘-고’, ‘-며’, ‘-면서’를 대상으로 -

Abstract

This study aims to examine why the connective endings ‘-go’, ‘-myeo’, and ‘-myeonseo’ express simultaneous relationships between the preceding and following clauses, whether the simultaneous meanings of these connectives are identical, and to identify distinguishing factors that can differentiate these connectives in order to clarify their semantic functions. The results show that, in addition to their inherent semantic functions, the connective endings also acquire derived meanings based on the contextual and logical relationships between the preceding and following clauses. The connective ending ‘-go’ does not combine with aspectual morphemes and has an inherent meaning function of ‘listing’ independent and equal facts between the preceding and following clauses. Additionally, it can derive the meanings of ‘simultaneity’ and ‘causality’ based on the contextual and logical relationships. The connective ending ‘-myeo’ combines with aspectual morphemes and has an inherent meaning function of ‘simultaneous listing’ of independent events or facts occurring in the preceding and following clauses. It can also derive the meaning of ‘listing’ based on context. The connective ending ‘-myeonseo’ has an inherent meaning function of ‘simultaneity,’ indicating that the event or action in the preceding clause continues while the event or action in the following clause occurs, and does not derive additional meanings from context. The connectives ‘-go’, ‘-myeo’, and ‘-myeonseo’ can be distinguished based on whether they combine with aspectual morphemes and whether the preceding and following clauses are coordinated.
