Abstract

This paper systematically re-examines the two concepts of suppletion" and defective paradigm" in Korean grammar. In defining suppletion" in Korean we found that: 1) Defective paradigm" means simply that there are restrictions on the affixes that may attach to a verbal or nominal base: this covers the majority of defective verbs" and a small number of free and bound nouns. 2) Suppletion is characterized by the filling in of paradigm gaps. Talta has been referred to as a defective verb in the past, but we view it as a case of suppletion. Likewise for the affixes -kela, -nela，-le, formerly called irregular conjugations." 3) We a1so include the irregular t, p, s stem verbs and affix -ye as cases of pseudo-suppletion.
