‘ᄆᆞᄎᆞᆷ내’와 ‘ᄆᆞᄎᆞ매’의 의미와 표기

Abstract

‘ᄆᆞᆾ-’ and ‘ᄆᆞᆽ-’ are root types corresponding to the Chinese character ‘終’. ‘ᄆᆞᆽ-(終)’ is also used as a noun by combining ‘ᄋᆞᆷ/옴/음/임’. It also constitutes a derivative by ‘(ᄋᆞ/으)막’ or ‘(ᄋᆞᆷ/음)+악’. The noun construction of ‘-ᄋᆞᆷ/암/음’ in ‘ᄆᆞᆾ-’ works similarly. Accordingly, a derivative by the combination of ‘내/ᄂᆡ’ or ‘애’ also appears. This paper aims to examine the form and meaning of the composition of ‘ᄆᆞᄎᆞᆷ내(ᄂᆡ)’ and ‘ᄆᆞᄎᆞᆷ애’ realized by the combination of ‘내/ᄂᆡ’ or ‘애’. ‘ᄆᆞᄎᆞᆷ내’ is directly connected to ‘마침내(finally)’ in modern Korean in form. The positive descriptive words spoken by the modern Korean “마침(finally)” also seems to work on “마침내(finally)”. This syntactic composition works differently in meddle Korean. In addition, it is common to treat “내”, which combines with “ᄆᆞᄎᆞᆷ”, as an adverbial suffix, but “내” is a word used as an adverb. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the composition of “ᄆᆞᄎᆞᆷᆷ내”' as a complex adverb. This is the case where the syntactic compositional form forms one word. In modern Korean, this change is not detected at all. Because it’s completely solidified into one word. Accordingly, modern Korean seems to have simplified the co-occurrence system in meddle Korean. In addition, ‘마침내(Finally)’ in modern Korean can be seen as the composition of the adverbs ‘마침’ and ‘내’, but this is confirmed to have a separate starting point. In general, ‘마침' co-occurrence to positive descriptive words is adverb that correspond to the Chinese character ‘適’. It can be seen that a certain grammarization with the variation of meaning has been carried out since the 15th century. Then, after the 16th century, the lexical meaning is strengthened. ‘ᄆᆞᄎᆞᆷ내’ is a method of expression that shows a change in the end after continuing to act contrary to the results of the predicate of the subject. It conveys the meaning of a reversal of a situation that has not been the case so far, not just the meaning of ‘last’.
