Abstract
Jejueo pedagogical materials reflect previous misanalyses of the language’s verbal morphology. The current study proposes a new analysis of this morphology, noting that the traditional one was strongly influenced by syllable structure. I also discuss a revised system of tense and aspect that consists of three types of grammat.ical markers – perfective (-eos and -eon), continuative (-eoms), and non-past (-(eu)neun, and -eun), whose distribution is based on a new view of morpheme segmentation
