AB - The purpose of this paper is to explain the meaning of the prefinal ending ‘-ess-’ and related phenomena in modern Korean from the perspective of Mental space theory (Fauconnier 1985/1994, 1997; Cutrer 1994). This paper suggests that although ‘-ess-’ itself is not a space builder, it can construct an event space (space E) prior to BASE. An expression with ‘-ess-’ can mean the present result state of past event when FOCUS is located in the present space. Even in such cases, EVENT is located in space E which is prior to V-POINT. ‘-Ess-’ is, therefore, a past tense marker. The related phenomena can be explained as follows; First, even when the situation is true to the present, ‘-ess-’ can be used if the location of EVENT is prior to V-POINT. Second, the use of ‘-ess-’ in future situation can be explained by assuming non-factual space which expresses the resultant situation of EVENT space prior to it.
