Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the distribution and functional characteristics of conjunctive adverbs appearing in spoken language corpus of the early 20th century. Through this, we presented the patterns in which conjunctive adverbs were used in spoken language and attempted to argue that the multi-layered connecting function of conjunctive adverbs was formed and continued during the early modern Korean language. Similar to the 21st century, conjunctive adverbs in the early 20th century had a distributional characteristic in which ‘그러-’ type conjunctive adverbs {그러면}, {그러나}, {그리고}, {그런데}, {그래서} appeared with high frequency. On the other hand, there were differences by period in the distribution of individual lists of conjunctive adverbs, and this was interpreted to be related to the formation period of individual conjunctive adverbs, register, and the expansion and contraction of their functions. Meanwhile conjunctive adverbs in the early 20th century also performed discourse functions in addition to general connecting functions. The discourse functions of conjunctive adverbs showed various aspects, including ‘utterance beginning’, ‘utterance finishing’, ‘utterance evading’, ‘filler’, ‘interruption’, ‘positive’, ‘utterance prompting’.
