| Research Abstract |
Based on the observation that Contact-Verb (CV) constructions with patient and its body part as arguments are common in S(atellite)-framed languages (German/Russian) but uncommon in V(erb)-framed languages (Spanish/Japanese), this study examined a possible correlation between the V/S-framed language typology and the constructions. French and Korean, V-framed languages, were shown to have analogues to CV constructions, thus seemingly counterexamples to the correlation hypothesis. Viewing the relevant expressions as benefactive/adversative constructions because they have the subjective meanings of benefit/harm, the study made a conceptual analysis of Japanese, Korean, and Ainu functional counterparts and advanced a typology of V/S-colored languages. Japanese is a V-colored language that encodes benefit/harm in verbs, while Ainu is an S-colored language with benefit/harm encoded in verbal affixes. Korean, basically a V-colored language, also manifests some S-colored language traits.
