Lee, Heechul. 1998. A Study on Some Korean Classifiers with Respect to Cognitive Semantics. Linguistics, 6-2, 83-101. Three numeral classifiers (NC`s, henceforth) will be discussed in this paper, one of which is ssang,^1) another khyelley, and the last pet, along with coak and ccok related to those classifiers. Intuitively speaking, the first two numeral classifiers are used to count two separate entities as a unit, and the last one is used to count two or more entities as a unit. Nouns that go with either ssang or khyelley are assumed to denote a unit of two entities on their own right in a default case. pel will be discussed separately later. ssang is Sino-Korean whereas khyelley and pel are native Korean.
