This study aims to elucidate the pragmatic functions performed by the auxiliary particle “maneun” in conversational discourse in Modern Korean. The analysis demonstrates that “maneun” functions both as a discourse connective marker, strategically linking stretches of discourse, and as a discourse modal marker, clearly expressing the speaker’s communicative intent. The pragmatic functions of “maneun” as a discourse connective marker can be classified into four types. First, “maneun” is strategically employed in situations where the speaker freely inserts spontaneously recalled information while continuing the utterance without disrupting the discourse context. Second, it is used to present relevant background information in advance of a forthcoming question or request. Third, “maneun” serves to display politeness by protecting the interlocutor’s face prior to asserting the speaker’s own viewpoint, and it may also function as a strategic device for mitigating the speaker’s responsibility for the subsequent claim. Fourth, “maneun” is used to signal to the listener the dimension or perspective from which the upcoming utterance should be interpreted. When “maneun” appears without linking to a subsequent utterance and instead concludes the turn with sentence-final intonation, marking the utterance as ending with an attitude of uncertainty, it functions as a discourse modal marker. In this role, “maneun” may indicate the speaker’s intention to confront a potential conflict directly by making their uncertainty explicit, or conversely, to defuse or avoid conflict by withholding categorical assertion.
