The Interaction of the Syntactic and Prosodic Structures in the Causative and Passive Constructions

The purpose of the paper is to conduct perception tests on the homomorphic causative/passive verb constructions in the dialect of the northern Gyeongsang province, to identify the perceptual cues that speakers of the dialect differentiate the two constructions and to reveal the relationship between syntax and phonology (prosody). In case of having syntactic markers and of ignoring the prosody in the constructions, the acceptability of the provided sentences was quite high. However, in the other cases the acceptability was low. On the other hand, having no the syntactic makers in the constructions, it can be seen that the prosody dominates the syntax. This can be interpreted in two ways in this paper. There are cases where the prosodic information ignores the syntactic information and it determines the syntactic structure by itself. The other is the cases where the prosody is determined based on the syntactic information and, reversely, it determines the syntax again. The result, in this paper, is closer to the latter. The experiment on the case where the prosody can independently detemines the syntax will be dealt with in the subsequent paper.
