The Lexical Representations of Korean Causatives and Passives

By Kabyong Park

Conducting his research within the framework of Marantz's work on grammatical relations, Mr. Park proposes the radical hypothesis that in Korean, the passive and causative morphemes appearing in morphological passives and causatives are actually the same morpheme. In addition, Park makes some interesting and new proposals about lexical entries for verbs that appear in transitivity alternations. This work is novel in extending Marantz's framework to a new language, in the new claims that are made for the analysis of Korean, and in the claims that are made about the structure of the lexicon.
