Abstract:

This monograph answers the rarely discussed questions of why complicated
grammatical case phenomena exist in Korean and what the connection is between
the case forms and their functions. The author argues that the case forms in
Korean reflect patterns of the human cognitive process. While this approach
may seem rather obvious to non-linguists, it is indeed a novel claim in
contemporary linguistic theory. In order to provide technical analyses of
Korean case phenomena such as multiple nominative/accusative, non-nominative
subject, and adverbial case constructions, this book adopts an independently
established descriptive construct known as reference point in the framework of
Cognitive Grammar. The author demonstrates that the notion of reference point
not only explains a substantially wider set of data, but also leads to a more
reasonable generalization. The intended readership of this book are
researchers who are interested in case phenomena, irrespective of their
theoretical orientation.
