Jeong, Haeja. “Are suffixed verb forms in complex predicate construction really nouns?” Studies in English Language & Literature. 39.1 (2013): 315-338. This paper discussed the status of suffixed verb forms in certain complex verb constructions which consist of a verb and a suffixed verb form followed by a verb like ‘mek-e-pota, ga-ko-sipta, ilk-ji-anhta’. How to form a complex predicate has mainly been syntactically analyzed (Koopman 2005) or semantically treated (Lee 1976, Kim 1984) or morphologically motivated (Sells 1995). I argued one aspect of a complex predicate with respect to the morphological approach. Unlike Cho (1988)' assumption of ‘-e -ko, -ji’ as nominalizers, I suggested that ‘-e -ko, -ji’ are bound morphemes as an augment of the stem, resulting in an extended stem of a verb and then, the suffixed verb form is combined with another verb to derive a complex verb like ‘mek-e-pota, ga-ko-siphta, ilk-ji-anhta’. Here, the suffixed verb form is not a noun and the above bound affixes are morphologically conditioned. I also argued that the fact the suffixed verb form can take various case markers is not the reliable diagnostic evidence because case markers in Korean can be quite freely assigned to the constituents syntactically, semantically, and pragmatically. I showed this analysis is more preferable to the ones from other perspectives owing to the existence of the diachronic pieces of evidence, that is, bare verb stem. (Chonbuk National University).
