Yang, Myunghee. 2006. 8. A Study on Complements of School Grammar. Korean Linguistics 32, 167-192. This study aims at establishing new criteria for complements of school grammar. I criticize the concept and the boundary of complements that are taught at school. On school grammar ‘NP+이’ that are used with only two verbs(that is ‘되다, 아니다’) is regarded as complements. But more verbs necessarily need ‘NP+이’ as arguments so it must be called complements. Grammarians classified the constituents of sentence according to case marker. So the core constituents of sentence in Korean are subject, object, complement, and predicate. But the case marker of subject and complement are the same so the way based on case marker is not clear. The creteria that I propose is based on the concept of complements. The concept of complements is a necessary constituent composed of sentence except subject and object. According to this criteria the complements in Korean are ‘이/가’ complement, ‘에’ complement, ‘로’ complement, ‘와’ complement and so on. On the basis of the concept of complement we can describe the type of Korean sentence more in detail.
