Description

Cahiers de linguistique - Asie orientale - Année 1994 - Volume 23 - Numéro 1 - Pages 119-127
The author discusses the nature of subject in Korean. Regarding subject, there are three kinds of sentences in this language: 1) sentences with an apparent subject such as tayhanminkwuk-un wuli nala-i-ta 'South Korea is our country', 2) sentences with a 'hidden1 subject, that is, there is no apparent subject in the sentence but, attached to a word in this sentence, we find a suffix which hints to the existence of a subject. For instance: eti-tul ka-pni-кка 'where do you go ?' with -tul a suffix of plural hinting that several people are the subject of the verb ka-ta 'to go', and 3) sentences such as yel-eyse twul-ul ppay-myen yetelp-i-ta 'two from ten makes eight'. The problem of subject in relation with topic and focus is also briefly discussed.

Abstract

The author discusses the nature of subject in Korean. Regarding subject, there are three kinds of sentences in this language: 1)

sentences with an apparent subject such as tayhanminkwuk-un wuli nala-i-ta 'South Korea is our country', 2) sentences with a

'hidden1 subject, that is, there is no apparent subject in the sentence but, attached to a word in this sentence, we find a suffix

which hints to the existence of a subject. For instance: eti-tul ka-pni-кка 'where do you go ?' with -tul a suffix of plural hinting that

several people are the subject of the verb ka-ta 'to go', and 3) sentences such as yel-eyse twul-ul ppay-myen yetelp-i-ta 'two from

ten makes eight'. The problem of subject in relation with topic and focus is also briefly discussed.
