The purpose of this study is to verify the correlation between the constrain of adnominal ending and the transition of adverbial dependent noun. The result could be summarized as follows.
Firstly, classified the adverbial dependent nouns of medieval and modern korean language according to their degree of change, and then examined the integration patterns with the adnominal ending. The list is divided into annihilated list, grammatical list, generated list, and maintained list according to the degree of change. As a result of checking the constraint of adnominal ending, the annihilation list and the grammatical list were integrated only with the adnominal ending. The generated list had a different constraint according to the list, and the maintained list was generally unrestricted.
Next, confirmed the relationship between adnominal ending and dependent noun transition. For this, questions related to the adnominal ending constraint were presented. First, whether the restriction of adnominal ending is related to the change of dependent noun disappearance or grammaticalization. Second, whether change is proceeded by specific adnominal ending. Third, whether the generated list is related to adnominal ending constraint , And fourth, there are adnominal ending constraints in the list that are maintained, and what are the changes if they are related to the adnominal ending constraint.
In summary, can confirm that the adnominal ending constraint and the evolution of dependent nouns are relevant. The choice of adnominal ending seemed to be related to the semantic nature of dependent nouns. And, if there is an adnominal ending constraint among the generated list and the maintained list, can confirm that there is a possibility of change.
