"-로써"의 문법화 : 복합술어에서 후치사로

The syntactic reanalysis of -losseo "with" in Korean: from complex predicate to postposition

  This paper begins by critically reviewing the cognitive functional approach to grammaticalization phenomena (following Campbell & Janda 2001, Newmeyer 2001, inter alia) and further proposes that the analytic device which has been used to describe synchronic variations can also be used to describe diachronic changes (Robert 2007). To this end, the paper presents an analysis for V＞P grammaticalized -losseo "with, by" in Korean in which the two separate constituents, -lo and -sseo, end up being a single constituent by means of the so-called complex predicate formation, being a synchronic rule observed in regular small clause constructions. Such "single constituent-hood" is claimed to be a prerequisite for syntactic reanalysis ("relabelling").
