영문 초록

This paper aims to clarify the semantic function of -kwola in Middle Korean. An analysis of the examples of -kwola from the 15th and 16th centuries reveals that -kwola is generally used in conversations where a speaker seeks good will and favor from the hearer and entreats the hearer to do something. This shows that -kwola is different from the imperative sentence-final ending -(u)la and has special meanings of its own. Thus, the sentence-final ending -kwola has a meaning of request rather than direct command; it is used when a speaker needs the good will or intention of the hearer to carry out what the speaker wants. Moreover, this paper shows that -kwola can function with the meaning of optative, too. If there is no specific hearer when the speaker utters his/her wish, or if the hearer does not have the ability and/or will or intention to realize the speaker's wish, -kwola can be interpreted as a kind of optative.
