A Comparative Study on the Relationship of the Syntactic Structure and Semantics of the Japanese and Korean Auxiliary Verb Sentence

Abstract

In this study, we present that the common denominators of the Japanese "-te-simau" sentence and the Korean "-eo-beorida" sentence and the "-go-malda" sentence are the bi-clause in the deep structure as well as the modality which is opposed to the speaker's expectancy. And the common denominators are the cause of the one-to-two surface corresponding relationship between Japanese and Korean. Also, we present the following linking relationship. "Bi-clause structure of the deep level → Raising structure of the derivation level → Mono-clause structure of the surface level Telic of the semantics level". The relationship suggests a universal linking relationship among the deep structure, derivation structure, surface structure, and semantics of the Japanese and Korean auxiliary verb sentences. © 2017 International Information Institute.
