This paper aims to provide a comparative analysis of three-place predicate constructions in English and Korean. First I provide the classification of three-place predicates in English and Korean. In Korean, the scope of three-place predicates is confined to the constructions with the structure ‘X-ka Y-eyk(ey) Z-lul P-hata’. Second it is claimed that it could be a good analysis to posit double object constructions and dative constructions for English three-place predicates, while it is not desirable to posit the two constructions for Korean three-place predicates. Third, I discuss monosemy and polysemy theories on the meaning differences between double object constructions and dative constructions in English and Korean. Fourth, I compare the superiority effects of 'recipient' or 'patient' arguments in some syntactic processes
