The structure of complementation in complex predicates in Korean has attracted configurational analysis. Using a lexical functional grammar (LFG) framework, this paper examines the structure of complementation in complex predicates. The term "predicate" in this context is used to describe both verbs and adjectives that are assumed to consist of semantic predicative argument structures. Some basic principles in LFG are reviewed and the non-configurationality of Korean is clarified by highlighting typical characteristics of Korean syntax. Verbal compounding is explained.
