Kim, Tae-Yeop. 1998. A Morphological Interpretation of Korean Sentence Ending Elements. Studies in Modern Grammar 13, 231-252. The main purpose of this paper is to interpret the Korean sentence ending elements in morphological terms. The sentence ending elements in Korean are composed of one or more elements, one of which is obligatory. The ending elements are analyzed into two types, "equipped" and "unequipped". The former is obligatory to terminate a sentence. The latter is further divided into two types: the one which has undergone functional shift from conjunctive-ending elements, the otrher from free final ending elements.
