| Abstract | Jae-Young Shim. 2018. Syntax-Semantics Mismatch in the Korean Desiderative -ko siphta Construction. Language and Linguistics 79, 177-202. This paper examines the Nominative/Accusative Case alternation observed in the object of the embedded clause in the Korean desiderative construction, -ko siphta, and proposes two different syntactic structures where the Nominative-marked object is base-generated higher in the structure than its Accusative-marked counterpart. This paper also addresses the issue of why the -ko siphta construction exhibits the proposed two different structures in the first place. Based on diachronic studies on the semantic changes of the -ko siphta construction from its 15th century to its modern form, this paper argues that from the semantic point of view the desiderative predicate siphhas lost its original meaning of 'to think' but it retains, from a syntactic point of view, its argument structure taking a single CP complement in addition to its newly acquired argument structure as a psych verb. |
