Language and Information 20.2, 117-143. In this paper I argue that some "activity" predicates in Korean are actually a kind of accomplishment rather than activity, unlike English counterparts. As evidence for this recategorization, failed attempt interpretation, ambiguity with in-adverbial or keuy 'almost', and non-ambiguity with tasi 'again' are discussed. This type of accomplishment is called activity-accomplishment here and this accomplishment analysis is extended to other kinds of "activity" verbs in Korean, manner of speaking verbs and perception verbs. I also show that in addition to lexical activity-accomplishment, some derived activity-accomplishments involving resultative or causative constructions support the existence of activity-accomplishment in Korean.

Regarding the issue of how the arguments of an SVC are realized, I propose two hypotheses: i) Korean SVCs are broadly classified into two types, subject-sharing SVCs where the subject is structure-shared by the verbs and index-sharing SVCs where only indices of semantic arguments are structure-shared by the verbs, and ii) a semantic argument sharing is a general requirement of SVCs in Korean. I also argue that an argument composition analysis can accommodate such the new data as the lexical passive SVCs in a simple manner compared to other alternative derivational analyses.

A reading such as this is illustrated for Karachay-Balkar (Turkic; spoken in the Caucasus), where the predicate meaning 'open the door' does not entail that the door actually became open:

In particular, I propose the following hypotheses: (i) the resultative predicate, X-key, is morpho-syntactically an adverb rather than an adjective, (ii) X-key forms a fully saturated clause (i.e., result clause) (sometimes with the predication subject omitted), and (iii) the result clause is a complement of the main verb in a resultative sentence. Based on these properties, a unified analysis of the resultative constructions is formalized in Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG)
