A Study on the Reasons that can’t set up Low-Level in Korean Honorific System

&nbsp;&nbsp;The primary purpose of this paper is to certify the reason that can’t set up low-level in korean honorific system. Most of investigators have setted up a contrast system of high-level and low-level in korean honorific system by this time. But we are on the assumption that can be setted up a contrast system of horizontal-level and high-level in korean honorific system.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;We shell certify four reasons that can’t set up low-level in korean honorific system. There are high-level forms and horizontal-level forms in 2, 3 personal pronoun of korean. It can be suppose for 2, 3 personal pronouns to the hearer of korean sentence. We can not set up low-level in korean honorific system because of be without low-level forms in 2, 3 personal pronoun of korean. The second there is not what is called the prefinal-ending of low-level function in korean. There are the prefinal-endings of high-level function such as ‘-si’, ‘-i-’, ‘-jap-’ in middle korean. But there be without the prefinal-ending of low-level function in middle korean and modern korean. Therefore we can not set up low-level in korean honorific system. The third there are not low-level but horizontal-level in embedded ending of indirect quotation sentence in korean. All of final-ending is be neutralized in embedded of indirect quotation sentence. The embedded final-endings of korean be neutralization in indirect quotation sentence are not low-level function but horizontal-level function nin korean honorific system. We can’t set up low-level in korean honorific system. The fourth we can to describe subject honorific system, object honorific system and hearer honorific system with consistent methods. Most of investigators have described high-level and horizontal-level in subject honorific system and object honorific system.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;After all we have to set up a contrast system of high-level and horizontal-level in korean honorific system with consistent descriptive methods.
