의문문에 있어서의 반복언어화(응답발화를 중심으로)

Abstract

This paper analyzes the phenomena of repetition and ellipsis in the response of the interrogative sentences in view of informational structure. The results of the study show that in the responses of positive-negative interrogatives, presupposed information cannot be deleted and that the information that cannot be deleted is not allowed to be repeated. Propositions of the speakers were studied with respect to three elements: 1) proposition-building, 2) proposition-adding, 3) space-establishing. The repetition process is obligatory in 1) and 2) while it is arbitrary in 3). In WH-questions, the focus of the questions is always placed on the identified part indicated as an interrogative and this question part should be answered, so the problem of the word-order recognition does not arise. Also, in de(で)-case constituent, unlike positive-negative questions, repetition process is arbitrary as it is not the main focus of the question. As regards the other elements, the same phenomena as in positive-negative questions have been observed. Adverbs of manners and attitudes are divided in two types on the basis of whether repetition is obligatory or not. Also it was found that repetition the repetition is not obligatory in the case of space-establishing adverbs of quality.
