통사적 타동성을 지닌 피동문에 대한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss whether passive sentences with 'eul/leul' noun phrase can be treated as transitive sentences. We divided them into two types of passive sentences with 'eul/leul’ noun phrase and examined the grammatical and semantic characteristics to compare each other. After that, we argued that the passive sentences made of a type of 'ppaeasgida' have syntactic transitivity. Sentences belonging to this type indicate the meaning of the removal of the property from its original owner, and the event in which the change of owner occurs as the property moves to the new owner who is called an agent. In addition, we explained that the sentences are transitive constructions, and the predicates are transitive verbs, but they have the characteristics of ditransitive verbs with three core arguments such as ‘give’ and ‘receive’. Through this, we actively acknowledged that passive sentences with an object are no longer treated as an exception in Korean studies, and there are syntactic transitive sentences in passive sentences and transitive verbs in passive verbs as well.
