Some Semantic Mismatches in Korean Verb-less Coordination

초록

Korean is known to have a special form of coordination, verb-less coordination (VLC), in which the preceding conjunct(s) may allow a shared verb, and possibly other related elements, not to be pronounced as the name of the construction indicates. In this study, we will try to analyze the data showing vehicle change effects with focus on a particular verbal ending -nuntey. As -nuntey is a kind of connective verbal ending in Korean, i.e. a subordinate conjunction, we will claim that the data in question have a common structure that contains verb-less coordination within subordination.
