호격조사 ‘아/야’의 전략적 사용과 어휘화

Abstract

Address terms are not only a mean of revealing social relationships, but also a strategic sign indicating the speaker’s mind or attitude. Original function of ‘a/ya’ as a vocative postposition is to make the previous words into a term of address. However, it was confirmed that speakers use kinship terms of address combined with ‘a/ya’ for solidarity form as a result of considering the discourse text that is actually spoken.
 Kinship terms of address combined with ‘a/ya’ that lost function of vocative is recognized as a unit. It was originally a spoken sentence structure, but it changed into a noun after univerbation, categorical change, and semantic change. This paper described lexicalization that changed structure: including ‘a/ya’ into noun.
