This is a corpus-based grammatical research of ten exclamative endings which are productively used in modern Korean. The corpus comprises of 2,028,262 words from 18 scripts of dramas, movies and sitcoms, which have been aired from the year of 2004 to 2014. The order of frequency rates of the endings was -ney > -neyyo > -nuntey > -kwuman > -kwunyo > -kwun > -ela > -kwumen. -Ela was the most preferred by women, wheareas -kwun and -kwunyo were preferred by men. -Nuntey(yo), -ney(yo) and -kwun were used the most by young adults, and -kwun(yo), -kwuman, -ela were used the most by middle-aged adults. By the way, the elderly`s use of -kwunyo, -kwuna and -kwuman was relatively high. The difference between -kwun and -kwunyo is very salient: -kwun is used almost exclusively in the context of monologue, but -kwuna is in the context of dialogue. It has been believed that they are differentiated by their speech levels in hearer honorifics. However, they have more than that, and it is related to their unique semantic and pragmatic characteristics. Semantic and pragmatic characterization of the other endings, especially-ela, -kwumen and -kwuman, were also dealt with in this paper.
