Abstract

In this paper, we present an analysis of sentences containing a Korean transitive verb that has a human subject and a direct object NP whose structure is Na-gen Nb, where Nb denotes a body-part or an object-part. Theses sentences constitute one of the inalienable possession constructions and are related by an operation of restructuring to double accusative sentences. Three factors (i.e., inalienability between the elements of NP, their separability and metonymic relation) allow us to extract, from all superficially identical verbs, a semantically and syntactically homogenous class: we call it corporal-contact verbs.
