ABSTRACT

Chinese “de” sentence is a very complicated and diversified structure not only in form but also in its meaning. Among them, complement is a subject-predicate structure of the “de” sentence (“S+V+de+NP+AP/VP”) has some characteristics different from other “de” sentence, which is used to represent the causative events. For this reason, through the comparison of Chinese “S+V+de+NP+AP/VP” and Korean causative sentence (analytic causative construction), This research discusses their distinguishing features and its restricting factors in corresponding. For the same causative events, Chinese “S+V+de+NP+AP/VP” focuses on the consequences brought out by causee, i.e. the resultative causative, but Korean causative sentence focuses on the actions taken by causer, i.e. the directive causative with the meaning of purpose. It shows that these two causative sentences in Chinese and Korean are not exactly the same in the understanding of the causative. This difference is also reflected in the types of the subject. In the choice of subject, Chinese “S+V+de+NP+AP/VP” is unconfined, but Korean causative sentence is more restricted, tends to require that the subject is a high degree of animacy. It points out that “S+V+de+NP+AP/VP” corresponds to Korean causative sentence is mainly affected by the animacy hierarchy of the subject “S”.
