한국어에서 형용사 구하기

Despite the standard assumption that Korean has a category of Adj(ective), it has been repeatedly pointed out that traditional criteria distinguishing Adj from V(erb) in Korean are not solid. Furthermore Kim (2002) and Yeo (2004a, 2005) explicitly argue that Adj is absent in Korean. In this squib, I present one new piece of evidence for the existence of the Adjective category in Korean. I also claim that the arguments for the absence of Adj in Korean in Kim (2002) and Yeo(2004a, 2005) either weaken or lose ground. If this proposal is on the right track, it implies that Korean and English are the same in having a category of Adj and the differences regarding the syntactic and semantic properties of Adj in both languages stem from the difference in its morphological property: An English Adj is [free], while a Korean Adj is[bound].
