韩国语固有语法对韩国语中四字成语用法的制约作用

The Grammatical Constraints on the Use of the Four-character Idioms in Korean

在韩国语中四字成语的用法受韩国语固有语法制约,具体表现为四字成语的用法在韩国语中不受其内部结构的影响,只相当于一个单词。且绝大多数四字成语在韩国语中的词性是名词,其中一部分不仅保留了原有的名词词性,还可与动词、形容词后缀"-■■"结合,派生成动词或形容词。还有一部分完全失去了独立作为单词的资格,只能作为"潜在语",出现在被派生后的动词或者形容词表意的部分,这部分四字成语被韩国语固有语法完全同化。

In Korean,the use of the four-character idioms is grammatically constrained.Without being affected by their internal structure,the four-character idioms parallel separate words,most of which are nouns and some of which can be used as a verb or adjective when combined with the proper suffix.Some others have been grammaticalized and can only be used as 'otential word'.
