영문 초록

The purpose of this research is to provide the data for the clarification of the functions of discourse particle like. 46 instances of utterances were found from 20 movie scripts that have been released for the last 30 years. Revising the previous proposals, we will argue that they can be grouped as quotative , approximation , focus or introduction and filler or hedge . The data, however, show the intra/inter-function overlappings, which need an elaborated network to explain the complicated meanings.
