초록

This paper investigates aspectual properties of idiomatic expressions in Korean, the data that have not received much attention in the study of Korean idioms. Extending McGinnis’ (2002, 2005) observation concerning English, I examine aspectual behaviors of phrasal idioms in Korean and show that the meaning of phrasal idioms in Korean follows from the composition of their parts. If the current work is on the right track, it may offer support to the argument that has been made in generative grammar in which idioms are not just random units but may act as systematic and compositional phrases.

Abstract

This paper investigates aspectual properties of idiomatic expressions in Korean, the data that have not received much attention in the study of Korean idioms. Extending McGinnis’ (2002, 2005) observation concerning English, I examine aspectual behaviors of phrasal idioms in Korean and show that the meaning of phrasal idioms in Korean follows from the composition of their parts. If the current work is on the right track, it may offer support to the argument that has been made in generative grammar in which idioms are not just random units but may act as systematic and compositional phrases.
