The Degree of Transitivity in Korean: A Functional-Typological Approach
In this paper, the A. analyzes transitivity in the light of typological universals. Transitivity features can be manifested both morpho-syntactically and semantically. Thus he will examine examples of correlations between morphosyntactic features and semantic interpretations. He will show that covariation between transitivity and the case marking of objects observed in Korean is by and large consistent with Hopper & Thompson's Transitvity Hypothesis
