초록

This paper discusses the structure of the verbal compounds in Korean compared to that in English and suggests a compounding of [X+Y] which is followed by suffixation of [-i/-ki] is more appropriate in terms of semantic drifts, status of conditional derived lexical items such as ‘jabi, chigi, ttugi, etc’. Unlike Kim (2009), it is proposed that a semantic drift is not a major factor to lead us to posit [X+[Y+-i/-ki]] for the verbal compounds because the semantic drift should be considered at the context-oriented pragmatic level. Instead, [[X+Y]+-i/-ki] structure is proposed as more suitable for the Korean verbal compounds when VP node under N can be assumed and noun-incorporation is available, which is quite similar in the English compounds in the framework of Hout and Roeper (1998). X cliticizes onto the verb, yielding a complex verbal head [X+Y] and moving up to the right of the nominal head position where ‘-i/-ki’ is base-generated. To support this structure, -/t/ insertion and nominalization in Korean are also examined. It is discussed the root compounding should be assumed for some verbal compounds in which subject argument interpretation is required.

Abstract

This paper discusses the structure of the verbal compounds in Korean compared to that in English and suggests a compounding of [X+Y] which is followed by suffixation of [-i/-ki] is more appropriate in terms of semantic drifts, status of conditional derived lexical items such as ‘jabi, chigi, ttugi, etc’. Unlike Kim (2009), it is proposed that a semantic drift is not a major factor to lead us to posit [X+[Y+-i/-ki]] for the verbal compounds because the semantic drift should be considered at the context-oriented pragmatic level. Instead, [[X+Y]+-i/-ki] structure is proposed as more suitable for the Korean verbal compounds when VP node under N can be assumed and noun-incorporation is available, which is quite similar in the English compounds in the framework of Hout and Roeper (1998). X cliticizes onto the verb, yielding a complex verbal head [X+Y] and moving up to the right of the nominal head position where ‘-i/-ki’ is base-generated. To support this structure, -/t/ insertion and nominalization in Korean are also examined. It is discussed the root compounding should be assumed for some verbal compounds in which subject argument interpretation is required.
