Two Causative Forms in Korean

Abstract

We all agree that sentences must be synonymous with each other if they are to be related by transformation. But the question is whether or not they are "really" synonymous. There are growing number of cases in which a set of sentences that were previously regarded as synonymous turn out to be non-synonymous when subject to deeper investigation. In many cases, arguments for non-synonymy seem to be correct hut there are some cases in which such arguments do not hold simply because the investigators incorrectly observed the phenomena and then jumped to erroneous conclusions.
