전이성에 관한 연구의 문제점 = Some Problems of Researches for Transitivity

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the traditional grammar, we classify the intransitive and transitive verbs by dichotomy in passive sentence. But transitivity is not defined by property of verbs but by the entire situation considering the whole sentence as a unit.
And we have many insights about subcategorization and selectional restric-lion in the case grammar. But case grammar limits to the explanation of tran-sitivity by ignoring the discourse-effects and the internal and external effects of sentence such as topic-comment, pronominalization and definiteness.
In the transformational approach, in spite of the Burzio's generalization it is difficult to avoid the criticism for circular argument. Furthermore if circumstances require, the notion subject and object can not be used in the rule system. At any rate transitivity changes currently by the cognitive operation and can not formalize syntactically.
