A sentence can have more than two pragmatic functions in communication situations, which sometimes leads to ambiguity of the transmission of meaning. Especially, if the pragmatic function of “-어야 해”[-əjahε] which basically expresses ‘necessity’ is misunderstood, this could cause failure in communication. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prove the hypothesis that some pragmatic functions of “-어야 해”, which have contextual ambiguity, can be analyzed and judged in terms of the intonation of speakers. To verify the aforementioned hypothesis, each utterance pattern of “-어야 해” is collected.
In this thesis, the analysis of “-어야 해” is conducted in the aspects of pragmatics and experimental phonetics. First, the pragmatic functions of “-어야 (하-)” is examined based on the preceding research. Then, among 14 pragmatic functions of “-어야 (하-) mentioned in the thesis released by Gang Hyun Hwa (2008), some pragmatic functions with ambiguity in discourse are extracted and set to each suprasegmental pair. The supersegmental pairs are respectively categorized into [reconfirmation], [complaint], [advice], and [command], and 5 test dialogues are written for the 4 categorized units to carry out the experimental phonetic test.
600 utterance samples are collected from the 6 participants who use the standard korean language after they read 20 test dialogues written for each pair. The 600 samples are analyzed through Pratt and “-어야 해” parts of the collected samples are examined as well. For datification, their pitch values of each curved section and duration time are measured and after total intonation patterns of “-어야 해” are extracted, the representative intonation patterns of each function is determined.
Also, pitch values and the duration time of “어”, “야”, and “해” are separately measured to find out each syllable’s position and the difference in intonation patterns of each suprasegmental pair. As a result, the intonation patterns of [reconfirmation] and [complaint] can be clearly distinguished but those of [advice] and [command] are similar. Also, when the intonation patterns of the interrogative speech made by [reconfirmation] and [complaint] and the command speech made by [advice] and [command] are analyzed, it is found out that each pair’s distinctive feature affects the directions of the last intonation curve and the duration of total utterance.
As analyzed above, the intonation study on a sentence pattern carries an important meaning, as the result contributes to the intonation education based on pragmatic functions in Korean educational spots where the pragmatic communication is mainly used.
