Abstract

In this paper, it is demonstrated how Completive is accomplished in Korean sentence. First, Completive is induced by the construction of the telic as an inner aspect and also by the perspective as a viewpoint aspect. Second, Completive is induced by the construction of V1telic+V2stative. Third, the first ‘-eot-’ at ‘-eot․eot-’, ‘-eot․deo-’, and ‘-eot․nae’ functions as completive, while the last ‘-eot-’, ‘-deo-’, and ‘-nae’ provide viewpoint in this construction. In addition, it is demonstrated that Completive has a syntactic status as an agreement of subject in Korean sentence given the following two points. That is, the ending of the relative clause, ‘-eun(com pletive)’ is derived from the three constructions mentioned above. Mean while, ‘-neun(incompletive)’, the ending of relative clause is not derived either from the aforementioned three constructions or from stative verbs. Specially, the status of viewpoint aspect ‘-eot-’ is higher than subject in syntactic structure in Korean sentence. Therefore, it locates higher in hierarchy than the construction of subject-predicate.
