The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of the connective adverb ‘Geureonikka’ in actual language data and to describe the semantic function and realization aspect of ‘Geureonikka’. This paper analyzed the semantic function of the connective adverb ‘Geureonikka’ and its realization aspect by focusing on the realization aspect in the written corpus. ‘Geureonikka’ is a polysemous connective adverb which has meaning of ‘causal’ and ‘elaboration’, and there are similarities and differences between the two semantic functions. The ‘Geureonikka’ of ‘causal’ represents ‘foregrounded nature’, which is including new contents in the relationship with preceding contents by forming the relationship between preceding sentence and following sentence with ‘cause-effect’. On the other hand, the ‘Geureonikka’ of ‘elaboration’ is different since it has a ‘backgrounded nature’, which is not involved in the progress of the story by describing the same event or situation with homogeneity in a different expression method
