Abstract

I propose that the Korean morphological accusative case marker ?(l)ul serves to function as an aspectual operator, telicizer, with a universal quantifying force that takes atelics turns them into telics. I will eventually provide the universal quantifying force of the Korean accusative case marker -(l)ul for the restricted distribution of Korean verbal noun objects. This proposal suggests that the so-called accusativus effectivus in Korean can arise from the presence of the morphological accusative case marker -(l)ul appearing on the aspectually associated adverbial constituents, in contrast to the fact that the accusativus effectivus in English arises from the presence of the indefinite article a(n).
