It has been claimed that Korean periphrastic causative constructions can express at least the concepts of causing, letting, permitting, and telling (weak jussive), among others. The purpose of this paper is to provide schematic representations of some meanings expressed by Korean periphrastic causative sentences. The significance of this study lies in its employing the concept of force dynamics (Talmy, 1988, 2003) in cognitive semantics in order to give a clear account of the different semantic categories expressed by those sentences.
