Nominalizations in Korean

Abstract

A transformation is an equivalence relation between sentence structures (stated in terms of class category sequences) in respect to word-choice acceptability difference. Since the sentence structures which are transforms of each other contain the same wordclasses, the difference between these sentence structures is not arbitrary but is restricted in general to: a permutation of word-classes or constants (where constants are affixes or words, which are not relatable to any particular other sentence); the addition or omission of a constant; and the addition or omission of a class only in limited ways to be stated.
