This article analyzes a group of connective suffixes ‘-게, -는데, -다고/다구, -(으)려고/려구, -고/구’ which also functions as interrogative final endings when it comes to the end of a sentence. Such interrogative final endings in performing its interrogative function need interrogative words such as ‘누구, 무엇, 어디, 언제’ and a rising intonation. On the contrary, interrogative sentences of liberally translated Chinese, in performing its interrogative function, need interrogative words ‘谁，哪儿，多，什么，几’and modal auxiliaries ‘吗，吧’. For connective suffixes functioning as interrogative final endings that are not included in this article will be left as follow-up study. This article aims to indicate a certain grammatical rule, in the process of performing interrogative function, of connective suffixes that used as interrogative final endings and interrogative sentence in liberally translated Chinese. It also expects to be helpful for Chinese learners who study Korean, and Korean learners who study Chinese.

"誰"자 문장중에 "誰"자의 非疑問用法은 否定範疇(negative category)와 밀접한 관계가 있지만 그러나 이것이 부정문중의 "誰"는 반드시 모두 非疑問用法이다라는 의미가 아니다. 본인은 1204개 "誰"자의 부정문 문장의 예문을 대한 통계 분석한 결과에 의하면 이중에 "誰"자가 의문문으로 나타난 문장은 298개에 불과하고 非疑問用法의 문장은 906개이나 나타냈다. 본고는 "不""沒(有)"중심으로 否定範疇가 "誰"의 非疑問用法에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석한 결과 否定範疇가 否定管轄(negative scope)內에 處하있는 與否가 중용한 요인으로 작용된다. 즉 否定範疇가 否定管轄(negative scope)內에 處하있으면 "誰"자의 非疑問用法에 미치는 영향이 그만큼 크다는 결론이다 특히 "誰"자가 否定焦點(negative focus)이 되었을 때 이 문장은 반드시 非疑問用法에 속한다.
