Yi, Hong-Shik. 2004. On the Meaning of the Particle ‘eul’. Korean Semantics, 15. This paper aims to describe the meaning of the particle ‘eul’. They say that the particle ‘eul’ is a accusative case marker. But ‘eul’ cannot be a case marker, because it can occur at phrases without accusative case, and accusative case can be allotted to nouns without ‘eul’. It can also occur at several adjunctive phrases. This means that it cannot be a case marker. The meaning of ‘eul’ is to represent the patienthood. The particle ‘eul’ has other meanings which are related to the patienthood. They are completeness and patienthood given from the speaker’s viewpoint. ‘eul’ cannot occur with particles ‘neun, do’ because they have same properties; they belong to the speaker-oriented category.
