In Japanese periphrastic causatives with the embedded IP (i.e., TP), the dative (i.e., DAT) causee is generated in the matrix [Spec, VP], while the ACC causee is a subject of the lexical verb (Miyagawa 1999, among others): that is, the accusative (i.e., ACC) causee is in the embedded [Spec, TP] at overt syntax, whereas it moves into the matrix object Case position at LF. However, this assumption is not on the right track in Korean periphrastic causatives in the sense that the surface position of the ACC causee must be an upper clause. This is also different from Song's (2005) prediction that the ACC causee should be in the embedded [Spec, vP] of the vP-shell structure. There are two types of ACC causee in Korean periphrastic causatives: one undergoes movement from the embedded subject position to the upper clause, the other is base-generated in the matrix [Spec, VP]. The EPP feature on v triggers the overt object shift of the ACC causee; hence, specificity. This is also different from Yeo's (2006) argument that Korean periphrastic causative constructions employ a single structure underlying both ACC and DAT causatives.
