ABSTRACT

This study aims to clarify the characteristics of sentence adverbs in the Korean language by re-subcategorizing them. Sentence adverbs are divided into four sub-categories: propositional adverbs, domain adverbs, speech act adverbs, and connecting adverbs. Propositional adverbs are sub-divided into modal adverbs, event-oriented evaluatives, and participants-evaluatives, whereas speech act adverbs are sub-divided into speech act-oriented adverbs and speaker/ hearer-oriented adverbs. Previous studies focused on the relationship between sentence adverbs and other constituents at the sentence level. In contrast, the current study attempts to define the characteristics of sentence adverbs by investigating at the discourse level the relationship between sentence adverbs and other factors such as propositions, speech acts, the speaker, and the hearer.
