ABSTRACT

This paper aims to investigate semantic/pragmatic function of ‘-tayi’ type sentence ending expressions in Busan dialect. This paper claims that ‘-tayi’ is used to explicitly suggest the addressee to accept the propositional content of the utterance, presupposing that i)the proposition is relevant with respect to the potential decision problem the addressee may encounter; and that ii)the possiblity of the addressee’s commitment to the proposition is relatively low. ‘-layi’ and ‘-cayi’ express that the speaker is suggesting that the addressee perform the action expressed by the utterance, presupposing that the possibility of the addressee’s performing the action is relatively low. Under the scoreboard semantics, these meanings are expressed as follows: ‘-tayi’ updates not only the speaker’s DC but also the addressee’s projected DC. The discourse effect of ‘-layi’ and ‘-cayi’ are similar to that of ‘-tayi’ but differ in that they update the hearer’s projected TODO.
