Korean Case Inventory

[Bla94b]

Korean marks case with postpositional particles:

• -i / -ga (NOM), -eul / -reul (ACC), -ui (GEN), -ege / -hante (DAT)
• -eseo (LOC), -buteo / -eseo (ABL), -(eu)ro (INST), -gwa / -wa (COM)

Like Japanese, Korean has a particle-based case system. The inventory maps cleanly onto Blake's hierarchy with no gaps.
