Abstract
The study discusses the intentional modality markers through the approach of situational context. It focuses on four intentional modality markers in the Korean language: -gess-, -eul geos, -eulge, and -eullae. As an Indonesian, it is not easy to distinguish the use of these grammatical markers in conversation because of their similarity in meaning. In addition, the literature that discusses the differences between these four grammatical markers is still hard to find in Indonesia. Therefore, to fill this gap, the study aims to investigate the use of these four intentional modality markers in Korean drama script, entitled ‘Jinsimi Data’. The corpus used in this study was limited to six episodes. These grammatical markers were identified and analyzed using the situational context. This study employed qualitative research with descriptive approach. The results of this study show that the use of these grammatical markers was identified 198 times, which can be classified based on the subject of the sentence. For the first person subject, -gess- appears 66 times -; -eul geos 31 times; -eulge 64 times; and -eullae 4 times. For the second person subject, -gess- appears 16 times; -eul geos 10 times; and -eullae 7 times. Then, there are 9 situational contexts appear in the declarative sentence and 5 situational contexts appear in the interrogative sentence.
