On Negation in Korean

Abstract

It is only recently that transformationally oriented attemps have been made at a systematic description of Korean Negation. Among them are Kim's (1967) and Song's (1967:57-131) doctoral dissertations; the former devotes her whole thesis to Korean negation, while the latter has one chapter on this subject. The present paper is an expansion of the fourth chapter of my thesis in which I have proposed a framework drastically different from the previous ones for the description of Korean sentential negation.
