The purpose of this article is to study a special feature of a morpheme which constructs Sino-Korean Words, with morphological analysis.
As the previous works have taken an erroneous, microscopic point of view for the word-formation in sino-korean words, they have tried to present another category which is different with that of a native korean words. This situation is caused by the attitude that sino-korean words
is not belong to korean words originally. However, this attitude must be corrected. As sino-korean words is obviously one of korean words, a base of sino-korean words is not a morpheme but a word. Therefore, this article proves that sino-korean word which is constructed by Chinese characters is a word. Also this article proves that the forms of ‘word+word’, ‘root+word’ and ‘word+root’ in a dissyllabic sino-korean word are a compound word.
