AB - The aim of this article is to show that Korean ending -ta can be used in echoic utterances. The echoic -ta can be distinguished from the descriptive -ta in that it represents another representation rather than representing a thought of the speaker's. The deictic center can also be shifted from the original speaker to the speaker of the -ta sentence just as in indirect speech. The echoic -ta can be used in seeking confirmation of the implicature that the speaker has inferred from the prior utterance, in addressing the topic by asking a question, and in quiz questions. The echoic -ta can not only be used in showing the speaker's incredulity or surprise as other echo questions, but also in repeating the prior utterance in order to contemplate about the utterance without any particular attitude toward it. Finally, The difficulty of determining the sentence type of the echoic sentence with -ta leads to the conclusion that the traditional approach which only focuses on echoic interrogatives can be broaden into comprehensive investigation on the echoic utterances in Korean.
