ABSTRACT

So far, this study examined structural property of sentences that substitutes accusative form of ‘NP-reul’ for locative form of ‘NP-e(seo)’. The results of the study are presented as follows: First, verbs that substitute the ‘NP-e(seo)/reul’ were roughly classified into locomotion and non-locomotion. The former was classified into three types according to sub-semantic feature as follows:direction point locomotion verbs, simple motion locomotion verbs and deviative locomotion verbs. The latter was classified into dependent non-locomotion verbs and physical-effect non-locomotion verbs. Second, the verbs were classified into one place predicates and two place predicates according to selection of argument Third, for the one place predicates, selection of locative case and accusative case is not syntactically necessary. Therefore, the ‘NP-e(seo)/ reul’ in the one place predicates is an adjunct governed by V', not a complement governed by V. Fourth, two place predicates select ‘NP-e(seo)/reul’ as complement. The two place predicates include all the locomotion verbs including part of non-directive locomotion verbs, non-locomotion dependent verbs and physical-effect verbs. Fifth, the ‘NP-e(seo)/reul’ in two place predicates is parallel in that it is governed by V. However, a locative(e(seo)) is inherent case, it is assigned to D-structure and as accusative(reul) is a structural case, it is assigned to S-structure.
