The Meaning and Realization of Intonation for Korean Sentence-final Ending ‘-ney’

The purpose of this paper is to confirm the realization of meaning and intonation for Korean sentence-final ending ‘-ney’. For this, based on the speech act, cognition and assumption of hearer, we looked into the realization of intonation for sentence-closing ending, ‘-ney’ in Seoul/Gyeonggi regions and Daegu/North Gyeongsang regions. In this paper, after extracting the physical properties(speech rate, start-point/end-point pitch, minimum/maximum pitch, slope) of each region’s intonation through production test, an objective analysis was attempted using a statistical program. This thesis is significant in that it attempted to analyze the meaning of the sentence-final ending ‘-ney’ in Korean, focusing on various physical attributes of intonation.
