'jom' has semantic functions somewhat different from those of 'jogeum' and appears mainly in spoken language. In this study, I classified 'jom' into three groups by forms: (1) adverbial occurrence (2) postpositional occurrence (3) discourse componential occurrence. (1) & (2) are the forms that extended from the original meaning of 'jogeum' and function as modifiers of preceding components or following components. (3) is related to informations of entire discourse. In (1) & (2), the meaning of reduction and delimiting show variations, but (3) appears as politeness markers and discourse markers. Politeness markers are the functions which are added situationally and discourse markers are inserted in sentences freely.
