Abstract
The current study has reviewed Korean double accusative constructions (DACs), which refer to constructions where two NPs marked with -(l)ul appear at the same time in a sentence. It gives rise to questions about which one is a grammatical object and what the other NP is in a sentence. To solve these questions, we have classified DACs into four types according to syntactic and semantic/pragmatic perspectives. There are four types of DACs: NP2 as a grammatical object, NP1 as a focus or topic; NP2 as a grammatical object, NP1 as a topic; NP1 as a grammatical object, NP2 as a modifier; NP1 as a grammatical object, NP2 as a part of the predicate. That is, in the first two types, NP2 is a grammatical object, while in the other two types, NP1 is a grammatical object. Additionally, the NP, which is not a grammatical object in the first three types, can be left out from a sentence, whereas it is obligatory in the last type.
