title = "Adnominal Adjectival Classes in Korean",
abstract = "This chapter introduces major adnominal adjectival classes in Korean, focusing on their basic morpho-syntactic and semantic properties. In so doing, we take the first step in describing how Korean encodes various types of adnominal meaning in comparison to more well-studied languages like English and Spanish. It will be shown that the major adnominal adjectival classes in Korean form a hierarchy in terms of their relative degree of morpho-syntactic complexity and this goes hand in hand with how nominal or verbal they are. In addition, full-fledged RCs are shown to play a major role in “compensating for” the absence of a prototypical Adjective class in Korean. The chapter closes by discussing how the semantic behavior of Korean adjectival classes uncovered here provides empirical support for Partee{\textquoteright}s (2009a, b) claim that all “normal” adjectives are subsective and there is something truly special about modal adjectives both syntactically and semantically.",
