Lee, Jeong-Shik. (2015). The SVO Hypothesis in Korean: Word Order Variation, Head Movement and Linearization. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal 23(4), 63-90. This paper argues for the SVO hypothesis for Korean based on the discussions of word order variations and head movement phenomena displayed in one type of verb repetition construction. It is shown that the new SVO hypothesis is to be preferred to the previous SOV hypothesis. The results of the discussion suggest a more restricted way of obtaining verbal morphology in Korean, make it possible to apply Kayne's (1994) Linear Correspondence Axiom to Korean, and obviate the need of the head parameter, thereby reducing computational complexity and helping minimize UG (Chomsky, 2005).
