Non-morphological Determination of Nominal Particle Ordering in Korean

In this paper, we argue that syntactic principles are better-suited to accounting for the complexities of morpheme ordering of nominal inflectional particles in Korean. We address the arguments made in Sells (1995, 1997) and Cho and Sells (1995) that syntactic principles are incapable of providing a principled account of morpheme order in Korean inflectional morphology and show that syntactic approaches are superior conceptually and empirically to the lexicalist analyses proposed in the papers.
