Yoo, Paul Yunchul. (2025). Syntactic positioning of causee nominals in Korean periphrastic causatives: A tertiary analysis. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 33(3), 153-172. The Periphrastic Causative Construction (PCC) has been a central topic in the syntactic analysis of both Korean and Japanese, but several unresolved issues persist, particularly concerning the syntactic positioning of causee nominals and the underlying syntactic structures. This study critically reviews the existing literature on PCCs in both languages and introduces a new analysis that addresses gaps in previous research. The central argument posits that the three types of causee nominalsnominative, dative, and accusativeeach occupy distinct syntactic positions within the causative construction. By redefining the semantic properties of these causee nominals, the study offers both conceptual and empirical support for the proposed syntactic structures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical implications of these findings for understanding causative constructions in Korean and Japanese. |
