Kwon, Iksoo. 2013. The Semantics of the Korean Sentence-Final Suffix -Ney Revisited: Response to Chung (2012). Korean Journal of Linguistics, 38-1, 53-66. This squib aims to pose a different stance toward the controversy over the grammatical identity of the Korean sentence-terminal suffix -ney discussed in previous research. This paper, particularly, revisits Chung's (2012) research on -ney, which claims that it is neither a firsthand evidential marker nor an epistemic marker, but that it functions more like a mirativity marker with an extra function of objectifying the proposition in question. I agree with Chung's argument that -ney's grammatical identity is not a firsthand evidential marker because the marker is freely used with other types of evidential semantics. This paper argues, however, that -ney is a strongly-positive epistemic modal marker for the following reasons: (1) -ney necessarily indicates that the speaker asserts the truth of the focal proposition with a strong belief of the truth; (2) it is not clear how her functional category of spatial deictic tense differs from the functional category of evidentiality and how it interacts with other tense, aspect, and modal categories in the verbal complex in Korean.
