「シテイル」と「-고 있-」, 「-어 있-」, 「-었-」の対照研究─形容性動詞の「-었-」に注目して─

Abstract

This study aims to reanalyze the Korean verbal suffix [-ess-] which appears in so-called adjectival verbs by comparing the functions of the Japanese verbal suffix [shiteiru] and those of the Korean verbal suffixes [-ko iss-],[-e iss-] and [-ess-]. The results are summarized as follows: (1) The Japanese verbal suffix [shiteiru] corresponds to the Korean verbal suffixes [-ko iss-],[-e iss-] and [-ess-]. (2) The Korean verbal suffix [-ess-] corresponding to the Japanese verbal suffix [shiteiru] is found only in the so-called adjectival verbs. (3) It is possible to place the so-called adjectival verbs between the verbal category and the adjectival category because they have an adjective like property in that they cannot take any other verbal suffixes but the verbal suffix [-ess-], whereas they have also a verb like property in that they denote an existing state of the referent when they appear followed by the verbal suffix [-ess-]. (4) Some of the so-called adjectival verb van appear with the verbal suffix [-e iss-], which suggests a functional continuity between the verbal suffix [-ess-] and [-e iss-].
