ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the characteristics of ‘NP-ro’, which expresses the meaning of [qualification]. ‘ro’ is a remarkable particle in that the meanings expressed in the sentences vary widely according to the accompanying predicates. In this paper, we presented four major characteristics of ‘NP-ro’, which have the meaning of [qualification], and discuss the characteristics of the ‘NP-ro’ constructions in Middle Korean. We also examined the constructions that can be discussed in relation to [qualification]. Through this discussion, it was possible to fill in the blanks of the grammatical history on the characteristics of ‘ro’. As a result, it was possible to arrive at a complete understanding of the usage of ‘ro’.
