Abstract

In this paper, I aim to discuss the Korean noun incorporation phenomenon. I demonstrate that Korean noun incorporation occurs at the D-structure, syntactically obeying the Head Movement Constraint (HMC) of Travis [14] and Chomsky[7] and Baker [6] and semantically obeying the Theme-Only Constraint (TOC). For the discussion, I first identify the structure of ‘hæ-tot-i’ sunrise-type words, thereby showing that before derivation occurs by adding the nominalizing affix ‘-i’, compounding ‘hæ’ sun and ‘tot-’ to rise should first occur syntactically. Based on empirical data, this argument is strong enough to convince us that noun incorporation is a syntactic word formation process. Based on the syntactic structure of the noun incorporation identified, I show that every noun that goes through syntactic noun incorporation should have the thematic role of ‘theme’, which has been captured as the Theme-Only Constraint. Thus, the syntactic HMC and semantic TOC form a general well-formed condition to effect optimal noun incorporation in Korean.

韩国语名词合并的良好条件
本文旨在探讨韩语名词合并现象。本文论证了韩国语名词合并发生在d结构,在句法上服从Travis[14]、Chomsky[7]和Baker[6]的头部运动约束(HMC),在语义上服从主题约束(TOC)。为了讨论,我首先确定了“hæ-tot- I”日出类型词的结构,从而表明在通过添加名词缀“- I”进行派生之前,复合“haæ”sun和“tot-”to rise应该首先在句法上发生。基于经验数据,这一论点足以使我们相信名词合并是一个句法构词过程。根据所识别的名词合并的句法结构,我证明了每一个经过句法名词合并的名词都应该具有“主题”的主位角色,这被捕获为主题唯一约束。因此,句法上的HMC和语义上的TOC构成了朝鲜语名词合并的一般条件。
