This paper explores the structure of nominal modifiers in Korean, focusing on two major modifiers, the adjectives and the demonstratives and their interaction with complements of a noun. Since it is difficult to detect syntactic characteristics of the two nominal modifiers only within Korean, a comparative approach will be employed. I will argue that the two pairs of parameters, the DP versus NP parameter and the head-initial versus head-final parameter, play a role in determining the structure of these modifiers and their relation with the complements.
