Abstract

This paper deals with the syntactic and semantic functions of the Jeju dialect verb 'gajida'(가지다) meaning ‘to have' in English, which has the same grammatical functions of the Korean standard verb ‘gajida'. It keeps the form of an auxiliary verb usually used as ‘-eo gajigo'(-어 가지고), but does not show any functions of an auxiliary verb. Moreover, it is used as not only a conjunctive ending but also a discourse marker. The Jeju dialect has 'goejida'(지다), 'ajida(아지다), ‘oejida’(지다) and ‘atta'(앗다) as its allomorphs, some of which have been grammaticalized into a conjunctive ending.
