초록

In the Korean dictionary, ‘wanjeon’(완전) is described as a noun, however in the internet language and spoken language it is often used as an intensifier which means ‘very or quite’. So far, research about ‘wanjeon’ was mainly focused on its syntactic and semantic characteristics. However, there are few research that is concerned about wanjeon’s characteristics as an intensifier. Therefore, this research aims to study ‘wanjeon’ as an intensifier and how its usage transformed in parts of speech and the semantic characteristics. Moreover, the paper will compare the differences of syntactic and semantic features between ‘wanjeonhi’(완전히) in internet language and spoken language. According to Sejong Spoken Corpus, we can clearly observe the manifestations of wanjeon when it was used as an intensifier in definite sentences. Meanwhile, we can find wanjeon’s semantic prosodic characteristics when it was used as an intensifier, and how gender-difference and hierarchy affect the usage of wanjeon.
