This study explored how event representations are composed in Korean verbless constructions by investigating 500 newspaper headlines. Four findings were noted. First, certain form-function pairings of particles were extensively used. Second, noun-final headlines occurred dominantly with -i/ka/(n)un and -ey/eyse, and particle-final headlines were proportionally more common with -(u)lo than the other particles. Third, verb types (copula vs. non-copulas) inferred from headlines differed by the first particle types. Lastly, the majority of non-copulas inferred from noun-final headlines with -ey/eyse and -(u)lo patterns consisted of verbal nouns with light verbs. Those findings suggest that event structures in Korean headlines can be constructed by combining particular form-function pairings of particles and headline-final verbal nouns, implying a possible motivation for event structure composition in Korean verbless constructions.
