15세기 국어에 쓰인 ‘­아 지다’의 문법적 성격

Abstract

This article is intended to illuminate a grammatical nature of ‘지다', which was used in the 15th century Korean. First, I look at the previous studies related to ‘지다’, and pointed out the problems shown in previous studies. And I looked at the grammatical characteristics that appear in ‘지다’. As a result, ‘지다’ was found to be Auxiliary verb indicating the hope or the desire of speaker. In this article, I decided on a type of the ‘지다’ construction into three types as follows: ㆍ the first type: Stem-+(-ᄉᆞᆸ-)+-아/-어 # 지(ᅌᅵ)다ㆍ the second type: Stem-+-가-+-아 # 지(ᅌᅵ)다ㆍ the third type: Stem-+-야-/-거-+-아/-어 # 지(ᅌᅵ)다 The construction of the ‘지다’ takes the speaker as subject in the sentences. On account of these features, the grammatical characteristic of the speaker subject is not reflected in the ‘지다’ construction.(first and third type) However, if the morph of ‘-아-’ be realized in the ‘지다’ construction, the grammatical characteristic of the speaker subject can be reflected on sentece as the morph of ‘-가-’.(second type)
