本研究反驳了Choi和Bowerman（例如1991）对韩国语放置动词的分析，认为其显示了一种跨语言的不寻常的空间分类模式。这表明，在成年韩国人中，“紧配合”动词kki-ta（“通过两个物体的侧面之间产生的摩擦，使被地面围绕或围绕地面的图形沿着地面的内侧表面或外侧表面滑动”）和两个“松配合”动词，内达（'移动图形到一个被地面包围的轨迹'）和noh-ta（通过松开手来存款图形，让它保持原样），不能简化为“紧密配合”;此外，它们还表现出不同的句法行为：第一，这两类动词所指的是运动事件的不同成分和阶段。Neh-ta和noh-ta是路径动词，指的是路径的终点，而kki-ta是方式+路径动词，侧重于早期阶段;特别是，kki-ta通常需要图形和地面在运动过程中产生摩擦。由于这一差异，在带有连接词-el-a的动词复合词中，方式/原因动词必须位于路径动词之前，kki-ta占据方式/原因动词位置，而neh-ta填充路径动词位置; noh-ta通常用作动词复合词中的体标记，并进入最后一个槽，尽管Choi和Bowerman认为幼儿会习得输入语言的特定语言分类原则，儿童被试在产生kki-ta时的错误表现出与成人使用的更简单的分类模式的偏差，即根据在路径的终点是否能容易地将图形与地面分开来对推杆事件进行分类。本研究指出，近年来进行的实验研究，这似乎表明，言语前婴儿对把似乎在“紧密配合”方面形成对比的事件进行分类的反应，允许不同的解释，因为婴儿使用的分类原则可能不是基于“紧密配合”。“（c）2006 Elsevier B.

The present study refutes Choi and Bowerman's (e.g. 1991) analysis of Korean putting verbs as showing a crosslinguistically unusual pattern of categorizing space in terms of "tightness of fit." It shows that, in adult Korean, the differences between the "tight-fit" verb kki-ta ('slide the Figure, which is surrounded by or surrounds the Ground, along the inner or outer side surface(s) of the Ground with friction produced between the side surfaces of the two objects') and two "loose-fit" verbs, neh-ta ('move the Figure to a locus where it is surrounded by the Ground') and noh-ta (deposit the Figure by releasing one's hold of it and leave it the way it exists'), cannot be reduced to "tightness of fit"; in addition, they even show different syntactic behavior.First, the two types of verbs refer to different components and phases of a motion event. Neh-ta and noh-ta are path verbs that refer to the endpoint of a path, whereas kki-ta is a manner + path verb that focuses on an earlier phase; in particular, kki-ta normally requires the Figure and the Ground to produce friction in the course of the motion. Because of this difference, in a verb compound with the connective -el-a, in which manner/cause verbs must precede path verbs, kki-ta occupies the manner/cause-verb slot, whereas neh-ta fills the path verb slot; noh-ta is usually used as an aspectual marker in the verb compound and goes into the final slot, after the above two slots.Despite Choi and Bowerman's argument for young children's acquisition of language-specific principles of categorization of the input language, their child subjects' errors on their production of kki-ta show deviations from adult usage toward a much simpler pattern of categorizing putting events in terms of whether or not the Figure can easily be separated from the Ground at the endpoint of the path. The present study points out that the experimental studies conducted in recent years, which seem to show that preverbal infants respond categorically to putting events that appear to contrast in terms of "tightness of fit," allow different interpretations, because the categorization principle that the infants used may not be based on "tightness of fit."
