Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigates the particle sequence in Korean. In Korean, a locative case particle and a nominative case particle can be combined, as in the case of ‘ega’. The eligibility of particle sequences can be distinguished by researchers. In this study, we verified experimentally how the Korean native speakers and the Japanese learners of Korean perceive the particle sequence ‘ega’. The results provide evidence that the locative-nominative particle sequence ‘ega’ is highly accepted among Korean native participants.
