This study aims to clarify the semantic function and licensing conditions of the Korean -jida form corresponding to the Japanese passive -rareru form. To this end, Korean -jida forms corresponding to -rareru were analyzed and classified into five semantic types according to the nature of the resultant state established in the subject: (1) morphological and physical state change, (2) locational and situational change, (3) creation and formation, (4) social and linguistic establishment, and (5) cognition and evaluation. The analysis shows that the primary semantic function of the -jida form is to foreground a resultant state newly established in the subject after the completion of a preceding event or process. In other words, the -jida form backgrounds the agent’s action or activity and foregrounds the resultant state established in the subject. Despite differences in the nature of the resultant state, these five semantic types share this common semantic function. Furthermore, four licensing conditions were identified: (1) the predicate must semantically entail a resultant state of the subject; (2) the resultant state must be established directly in the grammatical subject itself; (3) the resultant state must be capable of being foregrounded independently of the agent’s action or activity; and (4) subject animacy is not an essential condition, since the -jida form can also occur with animate subjects when the resultant state is established directly in the subject. These findings demonstrate that the various correspondence patterns between the Japanese passive -rareru form and the Korean -jida form can be explained in terms of a unified semantic function and a common set of licensing conditions.
