AB - Yugyeong Park. 2015. The usage of the Korean conditional connective ‘-tamyen’. Korean Semantics, 50. This paper aims to examine the conditional connective –tamyen ‘if’ by comparing with another conditional connective –myen. I show that a tamyen-clause morphologically includes hypothetical meaning, and so it can only be used in conditionals involving a temporary context update. Since generic, temporal, and deictic conditionals do not involve a supposition in their interpretations, -tamyen is not permitted in those conditionals. By contrast, a myen-clause can be used either in a hypothetical conditional or in a non-hypothetical conditional in which the if-clause functions as a simple domain restrictor. I also suggest that -tamyen can be used in anaphoric conditionals, a new type of conditionals, when there’s a need to explicitly express that the speaker’s public belief has been updated with the previous utterance. I further claim that the suppositional meaning of tamyen-clauses is due to the meaning of the declarative -ta. Formally, -ta expresses that its proposition is updated to the speaker’s public belief. By embedding the declarative marked phrase under the conditional, the antecedent clause of tamyen-conditional conveys the implied message that the speaker’s public belief is temporarily updated with the proposition of the antecedent clause. As a result, the tamyen-clause can convey the message that the speaker is assuming its proposition.
