Lexical Functional Grammar Analysis Of Korean Complex Predicates

Abstract

The structure of complementation in complex predicates in Korean has attracted configurational analysis, specially TG and GB. This paper discusses some problems of those approaches and clarifies the non-con figurationality of Korean by highlightening typical characteristics of Korean syntax. Within the framework of LFG, it is pointed out that syntactic structures such as EquiNP deletion and raising would rather be specified by 'control-equation' in the functional structure.
