ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to show that the syntactic relations of middle verbs is able to be predicted according to the semantic relationship between the multiple noun phrase of the transitive construction of middle verbs in Korean. We classified the two noun phrase in the transitive construction of middle verbs into 2 types (called alienable relation and inalienable relation) based on the semantic correlativity. We investigate that the middle verbs of Korean are classified as 1)Causative class 2)Passive class 3) Passive+Causative (ambiguous meaning) class according to these semantic relations and then each class of multiple noun phrase has different semantic and syntactic features. In this study, we examined the middle verbs which collected from previous research, various dictionaries and Sejong Corpus.
