A vocative construction of Korean has two functions: identifying and expressive. While the identifying function is the fundamental element in a vocative construction, the expressive function play a key role in its actual employment. A vocative construction is not possible unless the expressive function is not fulfilled. ‘Family name’, ‘first name’, or ‘family name + first name’ usually precedes an appellation. Ordinary constraints in a vocative construction can be summarized in the following. First, the first name does not precede an appellation in a vocative construction when the addressee is a senior. Second, ‘family name’, ‘first name’, or ‘family name + first name’ do not usually precede an appellation. when the addressee owns the feature of uniqueness. ‘Family name’ or ‘family name + first name’ can precede an appellation of the addressee when the speaker is in the same or a higher position. Third, even if the speaker is in a higher position, ‘first name’ does not precede an appellation of the addressee when the appellation designates his/her social standing.
