ABSTRACT

This study attempted to compare the 'character endings' used in the Japanese animation characters' way of speech with a version with dubbed voice in Korean. First,, it grasped the realities of usage of Japanese character endings, and analyzed the translation-realities of a Korean-dubbed version in response to it. Next, it examined the grammatical properties of Japanese and Korean character endings. The results are as follows: (1) Japanese character endings are classified into the sound of an animal, what shows its gestures, what shows its status, what shows its dialects, and what is derived from a character’s name. (2) Korean character endings are classified into what was used accepting Japanese pronunciation, what was derived from a character's name and type, what shows a character's status using 'Hao style,’ ‘Haera style,’ and a dialect. (3) Japanese character endings are classified into a character postpositional particle, a character copula, an animal character postpositional particle, and an intermediate form between character copula and animal character postpositional particle according to its location in relation with the its final postpositional particle, appearance possibilities in inversion sentences and the end of a clause, the existence of an authentic model, a verb form used in a command expression, and whether or not it may alternate copula,. (4) Korean character endings are divided into two: a sentence-final form to which something is added as extra and a sentence-final ending. Further, the sentence-additional form in a sentence end is classified as a postpositional particle of a character, and the sentence-final ending is classified as an intermediate form between a character copula and a character postpositional particle.
