ABSTRACT

The goal of this paper is to check the meanings of ‘tte’ in the compound words. In the compound word, ‘tte’ can precede the other noun or the other noun can precede ‘tte’. The meanings of ‘tte’ are subtly different according as ‘tte’ precedes the other noun or not in the compound words. The prepositioned ‘tte’ is different from the postpositioned ‘tte’ in semantic function. The prepositioned ‘tte’ means a number of people are connected in same way. Especially the prepositioned ‘tte’ means a number of people or things are influenced by same affair. But the postpositioned ‘tte’ has the only characreristic of plurality. The postpositioned ‘tte’ is similar to the plural marker ‘deul’. The prepositioned ‘tte’ has more lexical meaning than the postpositioned ‘tte’. The prepositioned ‘tte’ and the other noun can allow the modifying construction of apposition, so the prepositioned ‘tte’ and the other noun can't allow the modifying relation by ‘ui’. But the postpositioned ‘tte’ and the other noun allow the modifying relation by ‘ui’.
