ABSTRACT

This thesis is to ascertain that plural marker ‘deul’ has ‘plurality’ as a basic semantic characteristic and ‘repetitiveness’ as an applied semantic characteristic. Essentially the bare noun without the plural marker doesn't have the semantic characteristic of plurality. The basic semantic characteristic ‘plurality’ can be subdivided the semantic functions of collectivization and individualization. The applied semantic characteristic ‘repetitiveness’ is related to the semantic function of individualization. Plurality presupposes simultaneous events but repetitiveness presupposes time different events. Frequently the plural marker ‘deul’ attached to grammatical element can be used for the expression of repetitiveness. The plural marker ‘deul’ attached to noun has little relation to time different events.
