ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze Korean sentence-final nuntey and its Japanese counterparts, using data extracted from a Korean original drama and its Japanese dubbed version. In particular, the focus is on the frequency of nuntey and its Japanese counterparts and the relationships between the context in which nuntey occurs and the high ranking Japanese counterparts. The results of this study are summarized as follows. (i) Distribution of nuntey in each position of occurrence: Sentence-medial position (365 tokens, 43.45%) > Sentence-final position(475 tokens, 56.55%) (ii) The three high ranking Japanese counterparts of sentence-final nuntey : Sentence-final verb form> noda > kedo (204 tokens, 42.95%) (61 tokens, 12.84%) (47 tokens, 9.89%) (iii) The corresponding relationships between contexts where sentence-final nuntey occurs and the three high ranking Japanese counterparts: To express a speaker's subjective attitude: sentence-final verb form> kedo > noda To indicate information toward an addressee: sentence-final verb form> kedo > noda To request information from an addressee: sentence-final verb form> noda> kedo
