The purpose of this paper is to investigate the exclamatory sentential complement of Korean. The exclamatory sentential complement is superficially identical to the question complement, but occurs with a different set of predicates. In this paper, the system of exclamatory complements will be investigated under three subheadings. In Section A, I will investigate the differences between the exclamatory complement and the independent exclamatory sentence. In B, it will be argued that the exclamatory complements should be distinguished from question complements. Finally, in Section C, the general semantic and syntactic characteristics of exclamatory predicates will be studied.
