제주 방언의 ‘-ㅁ, -ㄴ, -ㄹ’ 연구- 연령별 사용 양상을 중심으로 -

This study examines the distribution environment and grammatical function of ‘-m, -n, -l ’ appearing in the Jeju dialect, focusing on the usage patterns by age. To summarize the discussion: First, in relation to ‘-m, -n, -l’, previous studies on Korean and Jeju dialect were reviewed. Most of the studies have proven that they are gerundial ending based on their distribution patterns and functions, and dealt with the process of change. It was confirmed through these discussions that ‘-m, -n, -l’ were originally gerundial ending, but through the process of transformation, ‘-m’ became a gerund ending, and ‘-n, -l’ became an adnominal ending and ending. It means that the function has been changed to Ending and ending, etc. Next, the distribution and usage patterns of Jeju dialects ‘-m, -n, -l’ were examined. For this purpose, the ‘research’ method was used. Summarizing the results of the research, ‘-m’ is used by all age groups when it functions as a ending. Even when it functions as a gerundial ending, it is frequently used except for some age groups, so it can be confirmed that ‘-m’ maintains the function of a gerundial ending. When ‘-n’' functions as a ending, it is used by all age groups. And in the case of functions as a gerundial ending, there was a difference in usage patterns according to the age group, although the frequency was not high. In the older age group, ‘-n’ seems to partially maintain the function of the gerundial ending, but it was confirmed that the function of the gerund ending was lost as the younger age increased. It can be seen that compared to ‘-m’, ‘-n’ lost a lot of its function as a gerundial ending. When ‘-l’ functions as an adnominal ending, it is used by all age groups, and when it functions as a gerundial ending, it is not very frequent, but there was a difference in usage patterns depending on the age group. In the older age group, ‘-l’ seems to partially maintain the function of the gerund ending, but it was confirmed that the function of the gerund ending was lost as the younger age increased. Finally, from the viewpoint of Korean history, it was confirmed that the case where ‘-m, -n, -l’ of the Jeju dialect function as a gerundial ending is ​​similar to the distribution pattern of the middle korean. There was only a slight difference in the distribution environment, and it was confirmed that it functions as a gerundial ending.
