This study focuses on NP2 of Korean noun phrase ‘NP2 of NP1’, based on the reseach by Kim･Terai(2016), a study of temporal relativity between NP1 and types of NP2 of Japanese noun phrase ‘NP2 of NP1’ with the clause structure. As in Japanese, it is also seen in Korean that NP2 has types such as a Chinese noun, a Korean proper noun, a derived noun or an adopted word. But differences are found when the phrases are interpreted. Roughly, there are two ways to translate. One is when the phrase is translated into ‘to do ~’ - Chinese noun, adopted word- ,the other is when translated by restoring to the original verb –derived noun-. Derived nouns of Japanese can be translated in the both ways, whereas Korean derived nouns cannot be translated by ‘to do~’ but only by restoring to the original verb. It is confirmed that NP2 with the characteristic of verb can be translated, as in Japanese, through a semantic interpretation of the relativity with NP1 ,as for “movement”, “condition”, “existence” and “relation” in the perspective of temporal localization.
