Lee, Juwon. 2016. Lexicology of Korean Common Nouns. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 41-4, 715-739. In this paper I attempt to analyze various Korean transitive verb constructions whose meanings are associated with a qualia role. In particular, four generalizations are observed: (i) the verbs culki- `enjoy' and kyenghemha- `experience' must be associated only with a telic role of common noun object, (ii) the non-final light verb of a serial verb construction is related only to an agentive role of common noun object, (iii) if a quale of a common noun is associated with the light verb ha- `do', then that quale is also associated with another qualia-related verb (e.g., culki- `enjoy' or kyenghemha- `experience'), and (iv) the verb sicakha- `begin' must be associated only with the first qualia role on the LV-QUALIA list, which I propose in this paper. Based on these generalizations, the transitive verb constructions are formalized in Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). (Kyung Hee University)
