13. Non-nominative (major) subjects and case stacking in Korean

Non-nominative Subject Constructions (NNSCs, hereafter) in Korean have been investigated from a variety of perspectives (Gerdts & Youn 1988, 1999; Youn 1990, 1998; Y-J Kim 1990; KS Hong 1991; Yoon 1996, inter alia). Not surprisingly, the constructions exhibit a number of properties that are found across a wide spectrum of languages that have been claimed to possess NNSCs. In particular, most properties of NNSCs in Korean closely parallel those in Japanese (Shibatani 1999; Ura 1999).
