ABSTRACT

The main concern of this paper is to look into what the match between the structure and meaning in ‘deul'-marked noun phrases in Korean is. While we basically follow the position that makes generalization about the meaning of ‘deul' phrases as ‘sum’, contrasting it with ‘group’ meaning of bare noun phrases, according to Link(1983), this paper also argues that the stages of generation is more important in interpreting the meaning of ‘deul'-marked phrases correctly. In this process ‘deul' functions as an individuator of a group. To show this, we discuss examples from three different types of noun phrases, namely collective noun phrases, material noun phrases, and noun phrases in generic sentences.
