Cho, Youngyoon & Yoo, Yongsuk. Comparing numeral classifier constructions in Japanese and Korean: The role of case projection in constituency differences. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 31(2), 45-61. This paper provides a comparative analysis of numeral classifier constructions in Japanese and Korean, focusing on the differences in constituency and the underlying syntactic structures. Through the examination of the base structures of NPs combined with conjunction and their total and separate interpretations, as proposed by Sudo (2015), we apply various constituency tests to investigate these phenomena. Our findings reveal key differences between the two languages, particularly in the role of Case Projection in determining constituency properties. This study contributes to the understanding of Japanese and Korean numeral classifier constructions and the broader field of comparative linguistics. |
