The purpose of this paper is to explain that the phrasal construction determines the meaning of Korean idiom phrase with two examples, mom_sal and kkoch_tun, within HPSG framework, following the spirit of concept of Construction Grammar. To do so, the paper introduces two English idiom studies of Riehemann et al.(1997) and Cho(1999) and Korean idiom explanation of Suh(1996) as the previous study. A hierarchy for Korean idiom is suggested on the basis of Cho(1999) and two criteria like semantically decomposable idiom phrase and semantically non-decomposable idiom phrase.
