Semantic Principles of Predication of Korean Serial Verb Constructions Youngju Choi (Chosun University) The purpose of the paper is to argue for Goldberg's (1998, 2010) claim that various kinds of syntactic predication represent limited and shared set of semantic relations. The semantic relations are possible as far as pre-existing semantic frames based on our experiences allow them. She provides English examples, lexical verbs, verb-plus-construction combinations, and coordinate structures violating coordinate structure constraint. I examine Korean serial verb constructions and conclude that they also show the same set of possible semantic relations. One of two verbs can designate a cause of the event the other verb indicates, as shown in mile ponayta ‘push-send'. If you push things, they are going to move forward and at the end leave from you. In other cases, one of two verbs is a precondition of the event the other verb indicates, as shown in kwu-e mekta ‘bake-eat'. The baking event is a precondition for the eating event. Finally, one of two verbs negates what the assertion of the second verb implies, as shown in noh-a mekita ‘free-feed'. The implication of feeding is not to let go of something. You need to put animals into a cage and feed them. But the first verb is negating the implication.
