Han, Jeonghan & Jung, Heesuk. 2011. The Grammatical Characteristics of Korean Modal Expressions of “conjecture”: In the Case of Grammatical Collocations. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 36-4, 1117-1142. The purpose of this paper is to find the grammatical characteristics of Korean modal expressions of “conjecture” which are composed of grammatical collocations. The modal expressions dealt with on this paper are 8 kinds: ‘-enga/nunga/na bo-’, ‘-enga/nunga/na sip-’, ‘-en/nun/ul moyang-’, ‘-en/nun/ul gat-’, ‘-en/nun/ul duta-’, ‘-en/nun/ul dusip-’, ‘-en/nun/ul seongsip-’, ‘-en/nun/ul beopa-’. We experimented the syntactic phenomena like the combination restrictions of tense pre-final-endings in pre-verb, the lexical restrictions in pre-verb, the sentence type restrictions, the combination restrictions of tense pre-final-endings in modal expressions, the co-occurrence restrictions to connective endings, the structural dependence of modal expressions of Conjecture. These experiments are designed to investigate whether the modal expressions are the lexical items in the proposition or whether or not they are composed as a grammatical categorization out of the proposition. From the results of the experimental, we found the syntactic characteristics of Korean modal expressions of “conjecture” which are composed of grammatical collocations are closely related with the progression of their grammaticalization type. And we　also found the sentence type implementation may differ based on who is the subject of “conjecture”. (Dankook University)
