Korean ‘Bojosa’ Phrase and The Extend of Grammatical Topic

The First aim of this paper is to distinguish BP(bojosa phrase) as grammatical topic from BP as not grammatical topic. The second aim is to investigate the syntactic-semantic characteristics of two class of BP. I distinguish the grammatical topic from discourse-pragmatic topic. The grammatical topic, which is one of the grammatical relations, is a sentence constituent that is not the established grammatical relations(subject, object, complement, adnominal, adverbial, vocative). The grammatical topic have ‘aboutness' as its basic semantic property and is analysed as discourse-pragmatic topic or focus in appropriate context. And the grammatical topic has the syntactic-semantic relations with other sentence constituents. Im, hong-bin(2007), which insists that all BPs are grammatical topic, have two major problems. One is not to be able to judge whether 'NP-가/NP-을' is subject/object or grammatical topic. The other is that the grammatical topics functioning like subject, object etc is not to correspond with the definition of grammatical topic. The BPs which is construed as subject, object, complement etc is not grammatical topic. There are three classes of grammatical topic. The first class is the BPs as adjunct which have not status as the established grammatical relations. The second class is the BPs that are analyzed to have one more grammatical relations or one more thematic roles. The third class is the BPs that are never analyzed as the established grammatical relations in context which argument of verbs are elliptical.
