국어 청자높임법에서 낮춤법 설정의 허실 = A Verification on the Propriety of Drop Level in Hearer-Honorific Speech

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The primary purpose of this paper is to verify the propriety of drop level in hearer-honorific speech of korean. We have preferred 5matters as mentioned below to attain our purpose.
There is not a pre-final ending to make low to hearer but a pre-final ending '-i-' to show respect to hearer in korean at the first step. The pre-final ending '-i-' is used to show respect hearer from the middle korean to modern korean. But pre-final ending to make low to hearer have no place in korean history. Secondly there is not humble words of 2,3personal pronoun but humble words of 1personal pronoun in korean. We can assume that 2,3personal pronoun carry out a role a role of hearer and 1personal pronoun carry out a role of peaker in discourse. Hence we can not set up drop level in hearer-honorific speech of korean. The final ending of embedded sentence in embedding sentence is selected grammatical forms that speech level of hearer-honorific speech is neutralized. The grammatical forms of final ending that is neutralized are '-da' in the case of declarative sentence and '-kka' in the case of interrogative sentence. The final ending '-da' and '-kka' are not the middle level in hearer-hnorific speech of korean. The grammatical forms of final ending that is neutralized must be selected the middle level, but is not selected the final ending of the middle level in korean. There are the subject-honorific speech and the object-honorific speech and the hearer-honorific speech in honorific speech of korean. Many scholars gave an account of until now that the subject-honorific speech and the object-honorific speech have not a drop level speech. And they gave an account of that the hearer-honorific speech has a drop level speech. But we don't think that the hearer-honorific speech has a drop level speech. Because the method of grammatical description lack consistency. We maintain that an honorific speech of korean is not a drop level speech. These phenomena agree with lexical system of korean. The lexical system of korean have not a drop level speech but an honorific speech and a horizontal speech.
We checked up on the matter that an honorific speech of korean is not a drop level speech but a honorific level speech. And we are well acquainted with a propriety on the oppositional system of honorfic level speech and unhonorific level speech in korean honorific speech.(Daegu University)
