보어 유형의 의미와 분포: 명제태도 술어와의 관계를 중심으로

초록

This paper analyzes discourse properties of 5 complement types in Korean. To this end, we first choose 4 types of attitude predicates with respect to the way in which the content of the complement is updated to the common ground. Given this, it is discussed why a certain type of complement is compatible only with limited types of attitude predicates. Especially, we propose that unlike English where the way of updating the common ground is mainly attributable to the attitude predicate types, each complement type in Korean conveys specific information regarding the common ground updating, and thus its distribution is determined by the interaction between the selectional properties of the attitude predicates and the context updating nature of each complement type. In this line of reasoning, we put forth a way to explain the distributions of the completement types in Korean. Accordingly, it is also discussed (i) when the factivity of the content in the complement should arise, (ii) why a certain completement type can be used only when their content amounts to a new information, while the other complement type requires that its content should be directly imposed to the common ground, (iii) why some of these complement types can be used only in a very restrictive environment while some other types exhibit a relatively free distribution, and so on.
