The Double Functions of Korean Benefactive Suffix
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Introduction. This paper provides new evidence that the benefactive suffix -(e)cwu in Korean serves two different functions in syntax. Depending on whether it heads an applicative phrase or functions as a cohead of v, -(e)cwu exhibits distinct behaviors with respect to argument licensing, types of compatible roots, and the interaction with causative morphology. Puzzle. Korean benefactive suffix -(e)cwu can appear either after the verb (1), or a causative suffix (2): (1) Yenghi-ka tongsayng-ekey ppang-ul kwu-*(ecwu)-ess-ta. Yenghi-Nom brother-Dat bread-Acc bake-*(BEN)-Past-Decl ‘Yenghi baked bread for brother.’

Double Object and Serial Verb Benefactive Constructions in Cantonese
This paper examines a specific kind of syntactic alternation in Cantonese, involving a single verb benefactive construction, and a serial verb benefactive construction. The former is a ditransitive construction with a single predicate and two contiguous objects (double object construction). The latter comprises a verbal complex of two transitive predicates with noncontiguous objects in a monocl...
متن کاملPhonetic realization of the suffix-suppressed accentual phrase in Korean
Suffixes can surface or can be suppressed depending on context in Korean. Shin (1982) argues that the case markermarked phrases deliver new information, while the case marker-suppressed phrases given information. The tonal pattern of the Accentual Phrase in Korean, LHLH, is not specific to morphological constituents within the phrase but is a property of the phrase (Jun 1993). Given that prosod...
متن کاملPredicting innovative alternations in Korean verb paradigms
In Korean verbal inflection, all forms in the paradigm (A-suffix, C-suffix, or ɨ-suffix forms) suffer from neutralization of some lexical contrasts, and there is no single form of the paradigm from which one can correctly predict all the other forms in the paradigm. Nevertheless, a survey of child errors and historical change show that the attested reanalyses are overwhelmingly based on ambigui...
متن کاملCompact Suffix Trees Resemble PATRICIA Tries: Limiting Distribution of the Depth
Suffix trees are the most frequently used data structures in algorithms on words. In this paper, we consider the depth of a compact suffix tree, also known as the PAT tree, under some simple probabilistic assumptions. For a biased memoryless source, we prove that the limiting distribution for the depth in a PAT tree is the same as the limiting distribution for the depth in a PATRICIA trie, even...
متن کاملBenefactive/Malefactive Event and Writer Attitude Annotation
This paper presents an annotation scheme for events that negatively or positively affect entities (benefactive/malefactive events) and for the attitude of the writer toward their agents and objects. Work on opinion and sentiment tends to focus on explicit expressions of opinions. However, many attitudes are conveyed implicitly, and benefactive/malefactive events are important for inferring impl...
