The purpose of this study is to analyze the construction ‘ojukhamyeon’ in terms of its syntactic, semantic, and discourse functions. The syntactic features of this construction were discussed in three aspects: ‘the sentence final forms’, ‘combination with the past tense form’, and ‘the subject person restrictions.’ As for the sentence final forms, the interrogative endings ‘-ulkka’ and ‘-gess’ are frequently used, and indirect quotation forms such as ‘-gessnyako’ and ‘-nyako’ are also used occasionally. In addition, the following clause of the construction frequently combined with the past tense ending. I also examined the possibility that ‘ojukhamyeon’ is used as a conjunctive adverb because ‘ojukhamyeon’ is used more often than its past tense form. Regarding the subject person restrictions, this construction does not show strict subject person restrictions, but 1st or 3rd person subjects are used more often. Moreover, I found out that when the position of ‘ojukhamyeon’ appears after the subject, the subject tends to be the 1st person subject. Regarding the semantic features, in terms of the discourse structure, this construction can be expressed the results of events in the preceding utterance, and the speaker later realizes that there is such a causal relationship. Therefore, the meaning of this construction was described as ‘a new realization that there is a causal relationship in the preceding and following events.’ This meaning is characterized by ‘recognition of non-typical events’ and ‘loose causal relationship’. Finally, the discourse functions were analyzed, and the basic discourse function of the construction was set to ‘justification’, from which detailed functions such as ‘explaining or excusing’, ‘inducing compassion’, ‘interrogating’, and ‘interpreting names’ could be expressed.
