日本語の使役構文における意味と構文の関わり : 韓国語の使役構文との対照を通して

This paper aims to explain differences in the interpretations of causative constructions in Japanese through an examination of their syntactic contexts and a comparison with Korean causative constructions. It was pointed out that there are certain “co-occurring patterns” in Japanese causatives as opposed to “replacing patterns” in Korean causatives. That is, in Japanese, co-occurring auxiliary verbs play an important role to distinguish the meaning of causative constructions such as instruction (or true causative) and permission, whereas in Korean, replacing the adverbial connective ending -ge with -dolog plays such a role. By adopting these perspectives, we obtained new typological insights into the relationship between causative constructions and their interpretations
