국어 보어의 특성과 범위 재론

A Reargument on Complement Categories and their Properties in Korean

&nbsp;&nbsp;The aim of this article is to compare the syntactic and semantic properties between Case Complements (‘i/ka’, ‘ro’) and Normal Complements (‘e’, ‘eso’, ‘eke’, ‘wa/kwa’).<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The Case Complements compose a pair argument with another argument in its argument structure. The first member of the pair argument plays a role of the subject or object in its syntactic structure, while the second member of the pair argument (Case Complement) plays a role of the predicate with its verb in the syntactic structure. In addition, the Case Complement is accompanied by a copula sentence.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;On the contrary, the Normal Complement stands alone in the argument structure, and stays in the argument structure of the verb in the syntactic component. The Normal Complement is accompanied by an existential sentence.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Because of syntactic and semantic properties of the Case Complement, the Case Complement should be excluded from the complement category in the Korean language.
