This paper aims to clarify that the discussion of the transitivity in Korean, in order to show the overall figure of its transitivity, should deal with some grammatical collocations such as ‘-에 대해, -을 가지고, -을 보고’ etc. To obtain this goal we re-examine the prototypical features of transitivity studied by many scholars both at home and abroad, and show the unit-ness of grammatical collocations and an indirect evidence that some non-canonical markers are used in some languages, especially for the sentences in low degree transitivity. When we regard the transitivity as a collection of prototypical features, we could get the potential result that the sentences, using accusative marker ‘-을/를’ for their objects, show wide distribution on the types of transitivity, on the contrary the sentences, using the grammatical collocations instead of the accusative marker, only show quite restricted and low-degree transitivity.
