Lee, Si-ae Advisor: Choi, Jae-hee Korean Language Education Graduate School of Education, Chosun University

Exclamation, one of nine parts of speech in Korean, represents the surprise, feeling and responses of speakers. It is inherently colloquial and has an independent form which is syntactically separated in a sentence. There have been no intensive studies on exclamation though such exclamation is frequently used in daily language as studies on exclamation centered on syntax. This study discusses exclamation in discourse level as well as grammatical levels focusing on syntax. Chapter Ⅱ speculates characteristics and types of exclamation. First, the characteristics of exclamation are sub-categorized into definition and properties. Exclamation as a situation-based word does not have any functional connection with other words, has permanent grammatical nature in forms, and is used to express internal conditions or mental actions of speakers or deliver speakers' intention. It is colloquial and independent, and is interpreted in different ways according to sequential utterance. Such exclamation is divided into three types as follows: emotional, intentional and transmitting. Chapter Ⅲ divides exclamation into a function of independent utterance and that of utterance support. According to types of exclamation, there are emotional, intentional and transmitting exclamations which are specifically used in dialogue and they are independent irregardless of sequential utterances. Supplemental functions of exclamation include an introductory function in imperative sentence, propositive sentence, and exclamatory sentence, a function of modal modification of speakers' subjective attitude in a function of expressing utterance attitude, and a function to express attitude of preceding information. Finally, a function of colloquial mark which is intended for smooth conversation is sub-categorized into the following marks: conversation beginning, attracting attention, utterance modification, topic change, voice maintenance, equivocating and conversation ending. Unlike Chapters Ⅰ and Ⅱ, example sentences in Chapter Ⅲ were based on TV drama scripts to deal with the function of conversation through real utterance.
