Song, Jaemog. 2014. Evidential Suffix -ney in Korean: A Reply to Chung (2007, 2012). Korean Journal of Linguistics, 39-4, 819-850. This paper analyzes the sentence-terminal suffix –ney in Korean and argues that it is a direct evidential marker. It criticizes Chung (2007, 2012) which argues that –ney is a spatial deictic present tense marker. She proposes that the spatial deictic tense in Korean induces an evidential environment and that the evidentiality itself is determined by evidential markers such as -ass-, -keyss-, or ø which immediately precedes the spatial deictic tense. This paper looks at Chung (2007, 2012)'s proposals and refutes them. It claims that the seemingly counter-examples to the evidential assumption for –ney can be explained without relying on Chung(2007, 2012)'s proposals. Governing domain of evidential markers, multiple marking of evidentials, and a distinction of reported evidential and quotation construction help to understand these examples.
