초록
This paper examines the word order alternation between dative (-eykey/hanthey) and accusative (-ul/lul) arguments in Korean with focus on the informational structure effect (i.e., effect of discourse givenness or newness), as compared to the grammatical weight or length effect reported in Choi (2007). This corpus study verifies that given information comes before new information in Korean as in many other languages, by showing that the 'given before new (GN)' order is much more preferred (5 times more frequent) than the 'new before given (NG)' order. It also shows that the scrambled AD order has distinct informational patterns from the canonical DA order, which seems to be resulted from the interaction with the length effect.
Abstract
This paper examines the word order alternation between dative (-eykey/hanthey) and accusative (-ul/lul) arguments in Korean with focus on the informational structure effect (i.e., effect of discourse givenness or newness), as compared to the grammatical weight or length effect reported in Choi (2007). This corpus study verifies that given information comes before new information in Korean as in many other languages, by showing that the 'given before new (GN)' order is much more preferred (5 times more frequent) than the 'new before given (NG)' order. It also shows that the scrambled AD order has distinct informational patterns from the canonical DA order, which seems to be resulted from the interaction with the length effect.
