Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence which the case of causee NP has on the meanings expressed by the Korean periphrastic causative sentences. Lee (2008) provides the schematic representation of the concepts of causing, letting, and permitting, which he claims are expressed by causative sentences. Lee (2007) shows that the concept of causing is conveyed by the juncture-nexus type of nuclear cosubordination, the strongest Interclausal Syntactic Relation, as predicted by the Interclausal Relations Hierarchy of the Role and Reference Grammar, and that other concepts are represented by core coordination. Therefore, it is a legitimate question what influence the causee has on the meanings of the causative sentences.
