초록
This paper describes the usage of the two locative case markers -ey and -eyse in Korean. Although other functions -ey and -eyse (i.e. directional meanings of ‘to’ and ‘from’, respectively) are briefly touched on, this paper deals mainly with the so-called locative at rest, which can be translated ‘in’, ‘at’, or ‘on’. Even though there are a few linguistic analyses on the topic, the lack of an adequate pedagogical grammar has left both teachers and learners of Korean as a foreign language with a dilemma. The main purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive analysis of these two locative particles in Korean in the hope that it may fill the gap between linguistic description and its pedagogical use. After a brief survey of previous studies on the topic, the paper deals with apparent counterexamples to the oversimplified rule based on the dichotomy of predicates (i.e. action vs. non-action predicates), which often appears in Korean language textbooks. This paper shows that in determining the correct usage of these two locatives, in addition to the predicate dichotomy, much more morpho-syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic factors need to be considered.
Abstract
This paper describes the usage of the two locative case markers -ey and -eyse in Korean.
