Wh-marked polar interrogatives in Korean

Дата публикации: 10-07-2026 00:00:00

Abstract
It has been discussed that there is a close relationship between sentence ending particles and clause types in
Korean. In this paper, I focus on the cases where we find interesting pairings between the form and the function. Specifically,
the constructions that I investigate have a form of interrogative while they have the illocutionary force of exclaiming. After
discussing their syntactic and semantic/pragmatic properties, I characterize them as wh-marked polar interrogatives in Korean.
These wh-marked polar interrogatives are used to express surprise or unexpectedness of the speaker towards the prior assertion or
listener’s belief in the context. Due to the presence of a wh-word, the sentence expresses the speaker’s judgment that p
<likely ¬p.
