ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to review some issues on Korean evidentiality and to clarify the criteria to build up the Korean evidential system. J. Kim (2012) proposed that there are three types of evidentials in Korean based on the cross-linguistic study by Aikhenvald (2004: p.105). Specifically, Korean evidential system consists of Direct, Inferential, and Reportative. However, J. Kim (2012) does not fully review extensive candidates of Korean evidentials because the focus of the study centered on explaining theoretical issues. Accordingly, only tentative list of Korean evidentials were suggested. To detect the Korean evidentials, I collected the candidates of Korean evidentials and then considered Anderson's(1986) proposals and applied some tests such as negation, assent/dissent and distributional diagnostics. As a result, I argue that there are three evidential types in Korean: Direct -te -, -ney, Reportative -tay, -lay, -cay, -nyay, and Inference -ci.
