This paper aims to provide the semantics of Korean -to for its main usage as an additive focus particle, by considering its constraints on the immediate discourse. Previous studies on the particle have mostly focused on its syntactic and semantic characteristics on sentential levels. The traditional treatment of -to as a trigger of existential presupposition does not account for a wider variety of its uses, especially when the focus part is not an argument, but a predicate or even the whole sentence. I propose a proposition function specifying the relation between the sentence containing the particle and the sentence in the context which satisfies its presupposition.
