Korean Syntax: Case Markers, Delimiters, Complementation, and Relativization. Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 4, Number 6.
Yang, In-Seok
This generative grammar of Korean analyzes the syntactic aspects of case markers, delimiters, complementation, and relativization. C. J. Fillmore's case grammar is adopted as the overall framework. Case markers and delimiters are seen to interact in two ways: one is obligatory deletion of the nominative and accusative markers before any delimiter, and the other is permutation of certain case markers with certain delimiters. It is explained, by means of constituent structure rules and transformations, how cases are realized on the surface, how case markers are multiplied, how they alternate from one and the same case, how they are deleted, and how to introduce delimiters into a grammar of Korean. Complementation is divided into verbal and nominal complementation. Compound verbs, one of the distinguishing characteristics of Korean syntax, are derived by the process of verbal compounding, which in turn is based on complementation. Equi-subject and non-equi-subject constraints are investigated, with special attention being given to verbs of self-judgment. Relativization is examined through the analysis of the underlying differences between certain superficially similar constructions and relativeized structures. Korean relativization necessarily involves the deletion of goal, source, and comitative markers, which results in ambiguity and anomaly in the relativized structures. It is shown that specificity plays a significant role in relative clauses. (Author/PM)
