AB - The present paper first observes a recent trend in Japanese-Korean contrastive linguistics to look at issues that are relevant at both sentential and discourse levels from a pragmatic or discourse analytic perspective. As a case study in this trend, this paper examines uses of nominal sentences in Japanese and Korean, and attempts to elucidate factors underlying differences and similarities between the two languages.
In particular, it points out common features of previously studied expressions such as genitive expressions, ellipsis in subtitles, and the A+N construction (e.g. kireina hana! ‘lit. beautiful flower!’), and makes the following claims: The primary factor responsible for the difference between Japanese and Korean is whether the speaker and hearer have an explicit agreement in the conversational context. It seems relevant here that in Japanese, things directly observable in the conversational context are typically taken to be known information, while in Korean mere observability is not enough for something to be treated as known information.
The second factor that brings about the difference between the two languages concerns how verbal nouns are used. The fact that verbal nouns in Japanese may have verbal functions suggests that the distinction between nouns and verbs is not entirely rigid in Japanese. On the other hand, Korean distinguishes nouns and verbs more sharply, as suggested by the fact that verbal nouns in Korean function only as nouns.
