AB - This study analyzes the continuity between the uses of the Japanese auxiliary verb -te miru and the Korean auxiliary verb -a/-eo boda in terms of trial and abstraction of meaning.
The most basic usage of -te miru and -a/-eo boda is to express a trial. One can observe a gradual and continuous abstraction of meaning from the trial; as the meaning becomes increasingly abstract, pragmatic effects, such as consideration and politeness toward the hearer, can be noted.
Regarding Japanese–Korean correspondences, we classified those representing trials into Type A and those whose meanings are abstracted from trials into Types B and C. Types A and B correspond in Japanese and Korean; meanwhile, Type C is found only in Korean. The verb -te miru does not occur as we move from Type A to Type B, with the meaning of the trial disappearing. Conversely, boda changes its meaning as we move from Type A to Types B and C and can be produced even if the meaning of the trial is lost. The conjugations -te miru and -a/-eo boda originally abstracted their meanings from the verb “to see” and became functional words for expressing the meaning of trial. However, when comparing their grammaticalization processes, the abstraction of meaning occurred more in -a/-eo boda than in -te miru, indicating that they are in different stages of grammaticalization. This finding is significant as it highlights the differences in the continuity of meaning in terms of the trial and the process of abstraction between these two similar forms.
