Abstract

The expressions called discourse markersuniversally have three shared features, that is, connectivity, optionality, andnon-truth-conditionality (Schourup 1999). Kim (1989), Lee (1993), and Kang(2009) have shown that the expressions “ye/ne” in Korean have the propositionalmeaning in some cases, but exhibit these features in other cases. Based on theseprevious studies, where the various functions of “ye/ne” were classified, this paperinvestigates, focusing on their discourse marker functions, the function-basedfrequencies of “ye/ne” occurring in the spoken component of the Sejong Corpus.From this investigation, the following results are derived: First, “ye/ne” is usedmuch more frequently as a discourse marker than as a propositional meaningform, second, their most frequently used function is a back-chaneling one, andlast but not least, “ye/ne” is also used within a speaker’s turn very frequentlyand “ye/ne” in these cases is not used for responding to another's utterance,but for creating coherence or relating other discourse units.
