AB - In daily written communication, speakers occasionally use the nonstandard, abbreviated form “ㅕ” instead of the standard “ㅟㅓ” when combining verbs ending in “ㅟ” with suffixes beginning with “ㅓ”. This study examines the frequency of “ㅕ”using corpus data and investigates the sequential aspects of its usage through conversation analysis. First, eight verbs ending in “ㅟ” are selected, and the frequency of “ㅟㅓ” and “ㅕ” in four types of uncorrected written corpora is analyzed. The results show that in messenger and online conversation corpora, the “ㅕ” form is used in a majority of instances for verbs such as “바뀌다” (to change) and “사귀다” (to date). Correlation analysis shows that “relational context,” such as speaker-listener intimacy, contact frequency, and relationship, significantly affect the usage, whereas regression analysis indicates no linear causal relationship. Meanwhile, conversation analysis show that the use of the abbreviated form “ㅕ” is related to affiliation achieved within sequential structures. This study aims to promote a multifaceted understanding of linguistic phenomena by analyzing them through the parallel application of two empirical methodologies.
