A Comprehensive Study of Grammaticalization in Japanese and Korean : A Contrastive Linguistic Approach

对日语和韩语各种语言现象的详细考察表明，日语比韩语更频繁地出现语法化；这一发现也可以通过复合动词结构、形容词谓语结构、包含正式名词的名义谓语结构等来例证。这一发现适用于所有三种谓语结构，而不考虑动词、形容词和名词等词类的差异。

Detailed examination of various linguistic phenomena in Japanese and Korean shows that they are more frequently grammaticalized in Japanese than in Korean ; this finding can also be exemplified by compound verb construction, adjective predicate construction, nominal predicate construction including a formal noun, etc. The finding holds true of all three kinds of predicate construction irrespective of difference in word class, such as verb, adjective, and noun.
