일본어 終助詞와 한국어 終結語尾의 대응관계연구 - 終助詞 「な」․「ね」와 終結語尾의 사전적 정의를 중심으로 -

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the similarities in grammar and meaning between Japanese sentence-ending particle “na” and “ne” and Korean sentence-closing ending. The research methodology involved comparing Japanese and Korean dictionaries and grammar books to identify the corresponding usage and conducting case studies through analyzing conversation materials and novels. As a result of the study, the Japanese sentence-ending particle “na” is consistent with the Korean sentence-closing ending “-nde” in four ways, and with “-geo-deun”, “-geol”, and “-a” in three senses. Also, the Japanese sentence-ending particle “ne” has the same three meanings as the Korean sentence-closing ending “-ndamyonseo”, “-de”, “-ge”, “-ji”, and “-a”. In addition, it was found that “na” most frequently corresponds to “-a,” and “ne” most frequently corresponds to “-ne” and “-a” in the case studies. These research results are important for uncovering grammatical and semantic commonalities between Japanese and Korean, and they are also useful when one learns these languages. However, more detailed analysis is needed in future studies, and more languages need to be compared to gain broader insights.
