This paper explores the functions of the utterance-final particle -canhain modern spoken Korean. Analyzing naturally occurring spontaneous conversational data, I argue that its basic function is to explicitly mark the speaker's belief of shared knowledge. This study suggests that -canhafunctions as a very useful device in managing the information flow in spontaneous conversation by enabling speakers to constantly signal other interlocutors and build common ground. This basic information-managing function can not only be used in discourse strategies (a pre-sequence and as a verbal filler), but can also be extended to express politeness and impoliteness, theticity, and mirativity. In sum, the functions of -canhadiscussed in this paper suggest that it is a highly intersubjective marker, in that it explicitly indicates the speaker's awareness of and attention to the hearer's information status and changes therein
