초록

In this paper I clarify how KP is syntactico-semantically related toAxPart and where KP is structurally located in Korean locative PPs. Looking into possibility of genitive case realization of K as -uy and ofadjectival modification between KP and AxPart, I insist that KP isfirst-merged with AxPart in its complement position. In the complementposition, no phonological realization of K as any kind is allowed. Itsphonological manifestation as -eyse only happens when AxPart ismodified by a directional adverbial or a measure expression. The reasonis because KP is in the specifier position of AxPartP, where the specificsemantic effect 'source' is given. KP movement to [Spec, AxPartP] istriggered by the strong edge feature of AxPart. If AxPart has a strongedge feature, KP obligatorily moves to [Spec, AxPartP], crossing adirectional adverbial or a measure phrase. With AxPart having no strongedge feature, KP stays in its complement position with no realization ofK as -eyse, since the position is not given any specific semantic effect.
