Abstract

In general, the event predication isexpressed by verb sentences and property predication is expressed by nominal andadjective sentences. Causative sentences belong to verb sentence, represent eventpredication(such as “Kantoku-ga senshu-wo hasiraseta(Coach made players run)”) moreoften, but can also represent property predication(such as “Kurayami-wa ningen-woobiesaseru(Darkness make human feel the fear)”). While there has been a great deal ofresearch of the causative sentences of the event predication type, the property predicationtype remain under-researched. In previous studies of causative sentences, the example ofproperty predication type was pointed out but was not analyzed specifically. In this background,Choi(2010), based on corpus investigation, analyzed how the event predicationand property predication is represented by types of causative sentences. And this paper,follow- up study of Choi(2010), focused on the structural and semantic features of propertypredication type. The conclusion which can be drawn from this study is following:1) The structures of property predication types are represented as “X-wa ∼V(s)aseru”,“X-wa ∼V(s)asesru X´dearu”, “X-(ni)wa ∼V(s)aseru x-ga aru”, “X-wa ∼V(s)aseru gokoga-dekiru”, “X-wa ∼V(s)aseruhodo Adj.”, “∼V(s)aseru X”, “Some negative forms ofCausative sentences”. 2) Kinds of properties are as follows: In inanimate subject sentence, there are the types describe nature, effect, shape and color of thing. And in animate subject sentence, there are the types describe personality, ability, and appearance of person.
