Abstract
Although Multiple Subject Constructions in Korean have received significant attention in theoretical literature, few experimental investigations of various syntactic and semantic properties of these constructions have been conducted. In this study, we administered a Magnitude Estimation (ME) experiment in order to compare the acceptability of Multiple Subject and related Single Subject Constructions (MSCs vs. SSCs) and that of two types of MSCs (Possessor-type vs. Adjunct-type MSCs). The results showed that MSCs received lower acceptability than SSCs. In addition, the Adjunct-type MSCs received higher acceptability scores than the Possessor-type MSCs. Possible reasons for these results are discussed.
